Excuse me while I recover from my heart attack

The Los Angeles Times editorial page comes out in support of the "nuclear option." Let's give credit where credit is due. Unlike some other newspapers, the Times is taking a principled stance, not a partisan one, and they should be commended for it.

What a heaping load of dung

Nicholas Kristof is often misguided, but he is not often as blatantly dishonest as he is in Tuesday's column. Here's a foreign affairs quiz: (1) How many nuclear weapons did North Korea produce in Bill Clinton's eight years of office?

Journalism 101, again

Sunday's New York Times had an article by soon-to-be-departing Public Editor Dan Okrent on, among other subjects, the Times' outrageous Editor's note, which I discussed last week. Samuel Glasser, a reader in Port Washington, N.Y., who identifies himself as a former reporter and editor with three major newspaper chains, spoke for many: "The idea that […]

Religion reporting

It remains a big problem at major newspapers. While newsrooms across the country have made it a goal to diversify their staffs -- at least when it comes to skin color and sexual orientation -- and the blind spot when it comes to devout Christians can illustrate how out of touch with "average Americans" the […]
