I cannot say the question "is this good journalism" applies in this instance it is just Michael Kinsley's knowledge and opinion of Mr. Hitchens', whom I am not familiar with, if I am not mistaken he quotes "no" sources but seems clear he knows the author's history. I personally would dispute Mr. Hitchens' knowledge of the Bible and Christian people's beliefs' I think he needs new sources in that area. Jesus did die in the flesh, was raised from the dead, and for Mr. Hitchens'es education all the criticism's he presents are answered in the Bible, perhaps he should read it. If you are around at the time we will see the "wisdom of the wise confounded." Now I must go and learn more about Christopher Hitchens also read some more pieces from Mr. Kinsley. It is good journalism from the standpoint that I have been enlightened!
