The notoriously critical Editor of Editor Publisher, Greg Mitchell, can’t seem to get his corrections any closer to correct than the incorrect facts in his original piece dealing with a story Mitchell previously admitted to making up.CORRECTION, Augus…

I wrote a column today on how Editor & Publisher and its editor Greg Mitchell had dug themselves into a hole with bloggers. First, Mitchell bashed bloggers instead of refuting their evidence. Then someone at E&P altered the copy on a……

Niagara Falls was turned off in June 1969, not in 1967, as the article below stated. We have corrected or deleted that date and Mitchell’s age where they appeared in this column. Mitchell worked at the Gazette in the summers of 1968 and 1969 before graduating from college in 1970. The incident recounted below occurred in his second summer at the paper, not in the first, as the original had it.

Lemme explain. No, there is too much. Lemme sum up….

Based upon the facts and previous statements and articles, it appears as though Editor and Publisher Editor Greg Mitchell may have intentionally misled readers when he allegedly came clean regarding a lapse in journalistic ethics early in his career. T…

Greg Mitchell, God knows, ain’t exactly a star of the magnitude of Dan Rather in the MSM firmament. He’s a no-name no-account nobody working from E&P’s home office in Nowheresville. This is one of the cruelest insults I’ve ever laid……

This past Friday afternoon, an unscrupulous revision to a forgotten three year-old editorial by Greg Mitchell became the bomb that threatens to blow apart Editor & Publisher, a media industry trade publication, and it’s parent company, VNU Media. Mitc…

As the great progressive leader Joseph Stalin may have said, “It’s not what really happens, it’s what we write about it that matters.” We can never underestimate the importance of proper screening of individuals who narrate history for the masses – from news services and talk shows to school teachers and entertainers. To our credit we have a firm grip on all of the above.

It seems our media, from fauxtography to the NYT to the movies, is becoming quite adept at Historical Revisionism:

Historical Revisionism is the reexamination of historical facts, with an eye towards updating historical narratives with newly discovered, more accurate, or less biased information, acknowledging that history of an event, as it has been traditionally told, may not be entirely accurate.

This is not to be confused with the more nuanced and politically expedient “Futuristic Revisionism.”

Yesterday, I posted excerpts from a Weekly Standard piece detailing how UNIFIL had actively (whether intentionally or not is more difficult to prove) aided Hezbollah / Lebanon is its recent war with Israel by providing information about Israeli positio…

Whereas in actual fact he was an inexperienced rookie, it was a long time ago, and he wasn’t nowhere near the relevant food-chain of the paper. All of which directly contradicts the initial implications.

“When I was facility manager at a large investment bank in Manhattan …”

Later: “I helped an old lady open the door to the ATM.”

Correction: “I … err, he didn’t mean to say he worked at that bank the ATM belongs to. He meant to say he has an account at some other bank than the lady, but still, can you prove that he doesn’t work at that investment firm? There.”

So the question is – which essential details does Mr Greg Mitchell happen to omit every once in a while?
