» Should The Times Be A Truth Vigilante?
I hope this is a joke. The New York Times Public Editor wonders aloud if their journalists should be reporting the truth.
Seriously?
“I’m looking for reader input on whether and when New York Times news reporters should challenge “facts” that are asserted by newsmakers they write about.”
Oh my god, this is embarrassing. This is like if your office was preparing the end of the year report, and you realized that, instead of methodically gathering useful data about your job for twelve months, you’ve just been putting boogers in a cup on your desk. And then you bring up your booger cup in at the staff meeting and ask if that was the right thing to do.
