Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

See the problem.

It's the March 20, 2003 front page.

The Tweet says the war started March 20th.

No.

In the US, it was the night of March 19, 2003 which is how it was a headline on the morning of March 20, 2003.

Even on the smallest detail, the paper of (mis)record can't stop lying about Iraq.
