At the very least, it appears that the New York Times messed up a caption. At worst, the Times has a Reuters problem.

A federal judge ruled yesterday that the basic statistics about sports and the players' names are not subject to copyright. Medler barred the baseball players union and MLB.com, the league's Internet arm that operates its own fantasy league, from interfering with CBC. "The undisputed facts establish that the names and playing records of (MLB) players […]
I missed this bit of moral cluelessness in Monday's New York Times while suffering from the stomach bug that bit me, but it should come as no surprise that the Times editorialists are sympathetic to the aims of terrorists. Troops must also be lined up for the international security force. The idea is to draw […]
If you haven't been reading the blogs over the weekend, you missed a serious blow-up at the Reuters news agency. (Michelle Malkin has a helpful, link-filled post here.) One of Reuters' freelance photographers in Lebanon submitted at least two photos to the news agency, which then sent them out over the wires, that were Photoshopped […]
John Temple, the editor of the Rocky Mountain News, following the lead of your favorite blogger (I mean ME!), has ripped into Editor & Publisher. If you read Greg Mitchell's columns on Iraq and now the Israel/Hezbollah conflict it's clear why Editor & Publisher has become increasingly irrelevant. Mitchell, the editor of the trade magazine […]
About every other week "media writer" Neal Gabler (how come I've never seen anything he writes on the Web?) complains on "Fox News Watch" that any media reporting on Iraq that isn't negative somehow paints a "false" picture of what Gabler knows is going on there. A lot of what has been missing in the […]
So, today was the last day for the White House briefing room before it undergoes a 9-month-long renovation. President Bush showed up -- along with a gaggle of former press secretaries from both parties -- and answered a couple of questions. Unfortunately for the media, ABC News' Sam Donaldson was in attendence and he came […]
Editor & Publisher, the publication I just love to beat up, has a brief on a lawsuit by wacky Rep. Cynthia McKinney's libel suit against the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I love this bit: Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney filed charges against the newspaper's editor Cynthia Tucker and publisher John Mellott for an editorial column that ran in […]
Greg Mitchell, the editor or Editor & Publisher magazine, has a new column out decrying the fact that American newspapers aren't decrying the fact that the United States is supplying a Democratic ally in the Middle East with arms. Simply put: Those are largely American made, supplied, and/or paid for missiles falling on Lebanon today, […]
The New York Times yesterday decried the bill that passed the Senate the other day prohibiting people from taking minor girls across state lines for abortions without parental permission as "mean." This is not a suprise. Better than 3/4ths of Americans support bills like this, but the Times editorial page is so far out in […]
