Thomas Friedman

Mohamed sent me this: "If you haven't seen this already, it's quite amusing. "Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting" did a report on Thomas Friedman in 2006. They found that in talking about the war on Iraq, he claimed that we will see results "in the next six months." Funny thing is, he used this phrase fourteen time over a two and a half year period. Because of his complete incompetence as a journalist and foreign policy analyst, there is now even a term (which has it's own wikipedia page) called a "Friedman Unit"; it refers "to any event or 'critical period' which is repeatedly expected to happen in the near future, but repeatedly fails to occur.""
