@bbebop -- it's a timeless tale, never goes out of date
Started watching "Connections" - 1st episode begins with a ride in elevator to top of WTC in NY. Spooky.

I waited a week to write my editorial about Maureen Dowd: http://tr.im/mcWM
@dankennedy_nu -- good for you. And congrats on being the first journalist to comment on that piece. I bet the Times doesn't respond at all.
@dankennedy_nu -- may I suggest that you write a column about this as if the NYT was the US Congress, and Dowd was a member of Congress.
You sell her innocence all through your column. Why be anything other than perfectly neutral?
@howardweaver -- Thanks! From you that means a lot. Actually everything. :-)
@mmechevrolet -- but they offered no defense at all. As if it was beneath them to address the concern. The "let them eat cake" defense.
How Guardian Tech readers detailed Oracle and Sun's buyups. Great story! :-) http://tr.im/mdnX
The Guardian used the people of Twitter as unpaid stringers, and they loved it.
BTW, before I sing their praises too much, I have unresolved business with the Guardian. Serious ethics questions they never answered.
In my experience, the old media only deals with issues they want to deal with. There hasn't been anyone that can force them to.
The Guardian did it twice in my experience, used a reporter with a huge conflict of interest to cover stuff I really cared about.
I like the current crew at the Guardian, and respect them. But they still need to clean up that mess. I think they know what it is.
