But he was still the idiot who went all-in on the O'Keefe/Brietbart bogus ACORN videos, apologizing that the NYT was a week late on that great, great rightwing story, and was caught lying through his teeth in an email he wrote defending the Time's awful work on that story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-27144374089653616782010-11-01T16:51:16.442-04:002010-11-01T16:51:16.442-04:00Regarding the New York Times' "inoculatio...Regarding the New York Times' "inoculation": I think that was probably in reference to the fact that, in the print edition, the story on the leak and Burns's piece on Assange appeared side by side on the front page. It left the impression that the Times, while accepting the leaked information, had not abdicated its responsibility as a news organization to treat even whistle-blowers with skepticism.<br /><br />As I say, I think that was the intention--but, contra the NYTPicker, it suggested to me that the Times was contradicting itself: that it treated the leak as a serious, and legitimate, news item, but that the organization that provided it was entirely suspect. Of course, if the latter was the overwhelming feeling in the newsroom, why publish the information at all?Anthony Banksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-75907673042537019392010-10-31T23:58:42.133-04:002010-10-31T23:58:42.133-04:00The was in "For Donors, Vote Lays a Base for ...The was in "For Donors, Vote Lays a Base for 2012" just today:<br /><br />"But, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to engage in a public dialogue on the matter when they were so focused on Election Day, strategists for Mr. Obama said..."<br /><br />Lame.wjdeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357897774129107101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-42020008274048491812010-10-31T17:49:22.130-04:002010-10-31T17:49:22.130-04:00The ˌbräbdi ng ˈnagēən idiom, "I'd tell y...The ˌbräbdi ng ˈnagēən idiom, "I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you" fits into this picture with metronomic relativity as another justification for the use of anonymity.
