Lies from Newsweek and Niall Ferguson

I know I should never have subscribed to Newsweek in the first place but I thought it is just for my office. Well I got this week's issue and almost fell out if my seat. Tun I read the article and threw up (intellectually that is). Luckily others have covered the fact checking: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/08/a-full-factcheck-of-niall-fergusons-very-bad-argument-against-obama/261306/#.UDSMQWNtmYM.mailto Also see Krugman's slaying of the article in NYT and his blog. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/08/20/paul-krugman-niall-ferguson-newsweek_n_1810136.html?fb_action_ids=10151028955456947%2C4130686837931%2C10151029083916947%2C513367175356904&fb_action_types=news.reads&fb_ref=type%3Aread%2Cuser%3ABDB7f9JxhuBhtOUb2_ftZ0AZFg8&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%7B%2210151028955456947%22%3A10151066218623434%2C%224130686837931%22%3A10151066218623434%2C%2210151029083916947%22%3A10151035183652424%2C%22513367175356904%22%3A10150271417234959%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210151028955456947%22%3A%22news.reads%22%2C%224130686837931%22%3A%22news.reads%22%2C%2210151029083916947%22%3A%22news.reads%22%2C%22513367175356904%22%3A%22news.reads%22%7D&action_ref_map=%7B%22513367175356904%22%3A%22type%3Aread%2Cuser%3ABDB7f9JxhuBhtOUb2_ftZ0AZFg8%22%7D&utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false Disgusting stuff and more clear evidence of supposedly MSN bias and corporate control.
