Condemnation of Wohlstetter ca. 1994 for spreading vituperative mistruths in the media, passed off as "academic wisdom" --
"PHOENIX, Aug. 1, 1994 - Suppose someone told you that Nicole Simpson slit her former husband's throat. Would you believe it? I hope not. One would think, therefore, that a responsible editor would not print such nonsense, either. Right? Wrong!
"The NEW REPUBLIC and the WALL STREET JOURNAL have each published ludicrous assertions by one Albert Wohlstetter which basically amounted to the same thing. The NEW REPUBLIC even gave him six full pages (!?) of its August 1 issue! The "Logic 101," therefore, would make the REPUBLIC's and the JOURNAL's editors "irresponsible" - by definition!
"But who the heck is this Wohlstetter, anyway? Supposedly, he is a retired academic. He signs his scribbles as "professor emeritus" of the University of Chicago. But academics aren't supposed to lie, right? Yet, his prose reads more as it were written by Herr Goebels (the Nazi propaganda minister), rather than by a university professor devoted to truth. Of course, Wohlstetter is entitled to his hatreds. And to the defamation of his own reputation, or that of his profession and the university where he once worked.
"But why are the esteemed media, such as the NEW REPUBLIC or the WALL STREET JOURNAL (the latter repeatedly) giving him the pulpit from which to spout off his falsehoods? Aren't the media editors supposed to check their contributors' lies which masquerade as "facts" before printing them? Worse, why do they keep refusing to publish the letters or articles which try to correct the falsehoods?
"Wohlstetter's article, "Creating a Greater Serbia" (the NEW REPUBLIC), for example, is long on hatred and short on facts. As were several of his earlier pieces in the WALL STREET JOURNAL during the last year or so."
