Adam Cohen wrote a silly piece about monkeys a while back. And now this:
Every mainstream news organization has its own sets of ethics rules, but all of them agree broadly on what constitutes ethical journalism. Information should be verified before it is printed, and people who are involved in a story should be given a chance to air their viewpoints, especially if they are under attack. Reporters should avoid conflicts of interest, even significant appearances of conflicts, and disclose any significant ones. Often, a conflict means being disqualified to cover a story or a subject. When errors are discovered or pointed out by internal or external sources, they must be corrected. And there should be a clear wall between editorial content and advertising.
That's a big joke coming from the paper that still hasn't come clean on its pre-Iraq War "reporting" (i e, by firing Judith Miller)
nice of the times to keep in touch with the rabble, and, as usual, just six months after the conversation began in earnest.
msm = delusion of objectivity
now that ive mocked the times for being late to a story, let me link to the pat o'brien tape. (im not sure whats more painful, watching his real show, or listening to these.) these are messages he left with what pat now must believe was a girl not to his taste. fortunately pat has been cleansed and judged worthy (by none other than the eminent dr. phil, and in prime time, no less) for return to his place in the firmament among the gods or wherever b-list celebrities go to spa these days.
