Digby sez:
This is a bit embarrassing for Tim Blair, but the term "the Mighty Wurlitzer" is not a laughably stupid analogy made up by Baker or by Robert Borosage, whom she quotes in the article.
The extremely well known phrase was coined by Frank Wisner who ran covert operations for the CIA. He called his propaganda arm his "Mighty Wurlitzer."
So, you can see that despite Mr. Blair's exceedingly high opinion of himself as both a writer and a thinker, he's actually quite the ill informed dumb fuck.
