THOSE PESKY INTERNS: FAIR has a link to a particularly silly piece from the twits at "Working For Change." It's about "right-wing ideologues" infiltrating "USA Today." The evidence? A column critical of both the recent "V-Day" celebrations and Eve Ensler's "Vagina Monologues." The perpetrator? An intern who is a member of a right-leaning campus group. But of course, the puppet masters are those wealthy foundations that seek to derail human progress:

Right-wing ideologues, for example, have been underwriting their own front organizations for decades in an effort to influence public opinion. Remember the phalanx of funders who fuelled a decade of Clinton investigations? Foundations bearing the names Smith-Richardson, Olin, Carthage, Bradley and Scaife are the masters of stirring the scandal pot to turn the public against policies and social trends they oppose.

And foundations bearing the names Carnegie, Ford, MacArthur, Pew and Robert Wood Johnson are the masters of funding a vast array of dubious left-leaning causes, including the "Vagina Monologues" and the radical-feminist "V-Day" victimization holiday.

Feminists and multiculturalists have been fighting "offices of strategic influence" like this for decades.

Yes, they have. They've established hundreds of their own "offices of strategic influence," which can easily reach journalists who carry far more influence than an intern. Of course, NOW would never call it "strategic influence." It's "speaking truth to power."

The ISI and the IWF, et al, are the groups that brought us the "political correctness" wars; the "stolen feminism" hoax; the media myths and ideologically-driven legends that have made life miserable for those fighting sexism and racism on campus and elsewhere.

Translation: "Mommy, that mean right-wing woman challenged my personally held beliefs! She pointed out that some of my sisters are engaged in stupid, ill-conceived crusades to demonize men! Make her STOP!"
