Take a look at this editorial in The Washington Post of all places vis a vis the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial that I wrote about last week.
Take a look at this editorial in The Washington Post of all places vis a vis the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial that I wrote about last week.
Monday's New York Times once again finds a way to spin military numbers in a less-than-honest way to make the situation in Iraq appear worse than it is. Last year, when various military branches were failing to make their (increased) recruiting targets, it was front page material. A few months later, when recruiting goals were […]
but my time would be more productively spent sorting grains of sand. According to John Hinderaker over at Powerline.com, The New York Times' account of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this week "badly misled its readers." After reading the excerpts, I'd have to agree with Hinderaker. The FISA court judges make it pretty clear […]
The Washington Post's media writer, Howard Kurtz, had a Web-only column posted yesterday in which he touched on the disastrous hiring of serial plagiarist Ben Domenech and conservatives in the news business in general. Kurtz's article was prompted by this piece by David Mastio over at RealClearPolitics.com which lays out the apparent step-by-step method for […]

Embryonic Stem Cell Success In Mouse Experiment, Cells From Testes Are Transformed By Rick Weiss Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, March 25, 2006; A11 Scientists in Germany said yesterday that they had retrieved easily obtained cells from the […]
Early last week the Washington Post unveiled a conservative blog, "Red America," on its site authored by 24-year-old Ben Domenech. Domenech's previous experience consisted of writing for National Review magazine and he was one of the co-founders of the popular blog-community Redstate.org. By Friday, Domenech had resigned after it was discovered that he had committed […]
When the New York Times first exposed the NSA's terrorist surveillance program it was a day or two later that President Bush publicly confirmed the existence of the program and his approval of the program. I was working that day and saw the headline on the San Diego Union-Tribune's front page story on that issue […]
Editor & Publisher notices the Associated Press' "straw man story" and then does something sadly predictable when it comes to recounting conservatives' criticisms of the piece. Reaction also came from Loven's critics, such as Powerlineblog.org, the Minnesota-based site that has chronicled Loven going back to her coverage of the 2004 presidential election. Among its complaints […]
Glenn Reynolds, better known as the Instapundit, has an interesting article over at Tech Central Station on what newspapers need to do to stay competitive in an increasingly Web-centric information society. The only real complaint I have about the column is one suggestion that Reynolds makes regarding photojournalism: Second, I'd put some of the money […]
What if there was an anti-war protest and no one came? OK, how about if there was an anti-war protest and only two people showed up? Talk about a slow news day -- and it even merited a photo. What a waste of precious journalistic resources.
