Fulton Sheen &CF

edit

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen backed the Front.[1]

Here's the beginning of David Frum's New York Times book review of this work:

In most lines of work, a person does his credibility real damage by denying the obvious and asserting the manifestly untrue. Yet in the book world, there can be very large rewards for a writer who boldly turns reality on its head. With “White Protestant Nation: The Rise of the American Conservative Movement,” Allan J. Lichtman apparently hopes to claim some of those rewards for himself.

That does not scream out "reliable source", does it? Frum makes the case that Lichtman's book is overly driven by a desire to pin modern conservatism back to some of the less savory politics of the twenties; this is not a neutral source. Anmccaff (talk) 19:24, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
