The fact that they are reporting erronious ‘news‘ stories without even making an effort to correct those at a later date is definitely the bigger black eye for the Times.

Bias in the mainstream news media? Like that would happen. Next you’ll be telling me that “man-made global warming” is just a bunch of junk science cobbled together to push a political agenda.

I will not be lectured on ethics…

…as I have sexual relations with a woman who is not my wife.

According to Kaus and others, Martinez told everyone involved that he was dating thePR girl. He specifically told the publisher multiple times, and it was only when the newsroom heard about it and made a stink that it became an issue.

Y’all just don’t worry about the ‘agenda’ thing. Just remember that the only agenda-driven news agency is Fox News. Oh, and I question the timing.

Carry on.

Andres Martinez doesn’t think journalists can do news coverage and run opinion pages without getting the two confused.

I can’t imagine this revelation came easily.

coordinate more closely with the newsroom’s agenda

I know, I know, I am quoting him out of context and it is missing the nuance and I am too stupid to understand without further claffification.

Allah, The MSM will play it as you say ‘nookie payola’, but only if FNC or talk radio or the right-o-sphere force their hand, otherwise it would be embargoed.

Even if they’d like to knock the LAT down a peg, they won’t to CYA, as the media’s played its agenda hand too openly, and the last thing they need is written proof of more bias.

Once again, the media is its own leading story.
How tiresome.

They will play the sex angle to mask the real story. C’mon, we’re talking the Slimes here.
