Question is, does Edwards have the black baby? Or Kerry? Dean's already gay and Clark we got $100 million sez he's something we make up.

As part of adopting a journalist, one should analyze in their stories...
1) the sources they use
2) how often anonymous
3) how often authoritative
4) how often the sources drive the story (not the other way around)
5) how many words are devoted to sources, and how many to facts, and how many to writer interpretation of the two.
6) the ratio between writer interpretation of the facts and to the sources (I'm aware that the two can respectably intermesh).
Also, by analyzing the pattern of their stories, can you imagine what their "beat" is?
What is their mission statement, as given by their editor, by an overall perspective of the stories, and how they write the stories, their name is attached to.

7) how often does a particular source reappear? can you postulate that, by content, style, and bias, that a particular anonymous source is reappearing?

You talentless partisans are not qualified to carry my pen and notebook, though I might allow you to fetch water for me.

Well...
...I don't know how well that piece on NPR went. The problem with it, like Okrent's last weekend, was that they posit this as a partisan vs. reporter thing. That all the critics are just upset because their guy is getting the once-over by a media that eschews partisanship.
The fact of the matter is that most of us who are deeply offended by folks like Wilgoren are not partisans to a particular candidate, but partisans to a broader conception of fair play and democracy. I don't critique Wilgoren or Pickler because I'm a Dean backer (I'm not), but because I want to see fair reporting.
Somehow we've got to get around this problem. If our criticisms are filed away as sour grapes from candidate true believers, it defeats the purpose.

I'm having a hard time figuring out this column, but my initial reaction is that it's a disgusting, condescending slam at Dean, his wife, and Evan Bayh's wife. Apparently Sauron would be happier with Teresa Heinz as Dean's wife. At any rate, excuse me while I spew chunks...

And one of the questions the guy asked was what each of the candidates ate when they came into the place. Edwards? Club sandwiches. Kerry? Fettuccini Alfredo!
I expect a press release from Edwards headquarters before the night is out."

They nit pickler Dem candidates for slight, insignificant issues in a biased, dishonest way - yet give the most radical administration in American history a free pass.
It is the double standard that counts. When Okrent and Wilgoren defend themselves by claiming to be simply asking the tough questions, we turn it around and ask why they aren't giving the White House that treatment.

It's no longer about reporting reality. It's about deciding what reality is. It's about pointing and laughing. They really are the kool kidz now. It's about them, and their image, and their career and social life. The actual content in what they write is unimportant. Style, not substance. Find a theme and run with it, don't worry about the plot. Stream of consciousness blather is mistaken for creative analysis.

Yes, and that piece didn't offer even a glimpse of that sentiment, which is how this began. It was just quotes from the Bloggers, and seemingly only the ones where they conceded they could be biased themselves, or that this could have a hate element to it.
To me that piece seemed like the same subtle smear job Adopt A Journalist was supposed to be keeping an eye on.

"Annoy a Wingnut Journalist for Democracy"
I've adopted my own "journalist," Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe. After I read this worthless pile of merda:
That's it. You're right. No Democrat is worthy to oppose Bush. Kerry is withering. Sharpton's a blowhard. Edwards is dense. Clark's a waffler. And we won't even mention that mentally unstable guy from Vermont.
Really. Let's call off the election this November and install Georgie (or Britt Hume, you're positively ga-ga over his presidential credentials) as our permanent president. Afterall, who else can save our country and the world, but the articulate, intellectually curious, and deep thinking, not to mention brave- warrior-for-his country, George W. Bush?
You're right. The Democrats, the opposition, are a bunch of blathering, pufferous, stupid Americans. Never let them attain any semblance of power in this country. Yep. Every totalitarian in history agrees with you.
"I love a one-party system." --Saddam Hussein. --Fidel Castro.
(I don't know if those men actually said that. But, you see, I'm a liberal Democrat, and I'll lie, cheat and kill kittens to get my points across.)
Thank goodness for you, Jeff. You'll keep the oppostition marginalized for democracy. Good for you. Yep. You're just what every democracy fears-- whoops, I mean needs.
just saw the fox news guy following dean, major garret. he was saying dean supporters were taking issue with fellow fox news guy carl cameron who was reporting on kerry.
dean and his supporters will do the work to go after the wingnuts. and that's why he'll win.

Wilgoren states that it's not her job to be an advocate for the candidate. I wholeheartedly agree. On the other hand, neither is it her job to take down a candidate by constantly trying to portray them in a negative light. She has adopted a
"negativity as a story angle" approach which seems to be quite widespread among the east coast media whores, with DC being the gooey center of whoredom.

One thing that we need to add about the sources is WHO FUNDS THEM? They might say, "The conservative think tank blah, blah, blah, which is good since at least they say conservative.
But when the reporte is covering a specific issue that effects for example the cigarette industy, they should also say, "The RJR Reyolds funded...JunkScience.com, run by self-proclaimed "junkman" Steven J. Milloy, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, and a columnist for FoxNews.com. "

Thanks for this, papawasa. God damn, Dean's damned if he's "angry" and damned if he's "declawed," eh?
Nice thing she's got going. She's always right, no matter what anybody does.
The jig is up on being "objective" and an "authority". The elephant in the room is "corporate". They all pretend that being owned by a company has no effect on what they do. That's why we see all those expose's of GE on NBC.
They have no idea how bad this can get because they are lazy and not very smart.
In my opinion, the bar should be gradually raised as they start cleaning up their act.

I am no scholar of journalism, but I suspect the availability of C-SPAN video of campaign events, transcripts on the Internet, and the proliferation of profit-less bloggers are creating a rich environment for fact-checking that may have never existed before. CJR Campaign Desk and factcheck.org may be indispensable as the campaign unfolds, and intimidating to all but the most diligent and scrupulous in the press. Maybe what we should expect is Ludd-ism from the old guard in the reporting business.

Well, here's the letter I wrote to Okrent of the Times about Wilgoren:
I know this is probably getting tiresome for you, but Wilgoren’s recent piece on Howard and Judith Dean on Diane Sawyer did not stay neatly within the lines of responsible political reporting. I am writing this as a Dean supporter, but I’d like to think that were Dean’s name replaced, as you suggested, with, say, Lieberman or even Bush, I’d find Wilgoren’s coverage unfair.
I’m referring to the phrase in which Wilgoren describes the Deans trying “to look as normal as possible.” Say what? What’s the evidence here?
And what has Dean done that, well, makes him “abnormal” or potentially so, what’s the base line of normality to which he’s being compared, and so on?
I realize that Dean’s doing the folksy cum self-parody thing to repair damage caused by his shouting in Iowa, but, after watching video of that speech (in particular, video shot from the crowd), I’ve realized that it’s clear that, well, our political reporters have been making news, not reporting it. His shouting wasn’t weird. It wasn’t even angry. It was, quite clearly, a nice simulation, or even a genuine expression of (I can’t judge: neither can Wilgoren) excitement and hope. Whatever damage Dean did by shouting in Iowa was done by political reporters pig-piling onto a nice (here used with all its pejorative valences) story: Dean didn’t make the mess, but he’s got to clean it up. Not fair.
Perhaps give Wilgoren to Bush for a while?
Karl |
01.25.04 - 11:05 am | #
when I read in the comments here some weeks back that Wilgoren had signed up for Wilgoren Watch, I said to myself, "WOW. She's nasty."
Why? I mean, she's savvy. She knew she was sending a message by signing up with her own name, said message being, "I'm watching you fuckers and don't think I won't fuck you hard if you give me half a chance."
I mean, if she just wanted to see what was said about her, she didn't have to sign up with her own name. She could have used a pseudonym just to check on what was going on without being so fucking obvious about it.
That's what I would have done, at least, had I wanted to check things out without being obvious. OTOH had I wanted to send a message, I would have signed up using my own name (again, assuming I were Wilgoren).
Arrogant fuckin' ho's. They think we should just sit back and swallow their crap whole and shut the fuck up about it if we don't like it.

I didn't really get that feeling. I mean, how is she going to screw me over? I'm not involved with the campaign except tangentially as a volunteer. Is she going to be HARDER on Howard Dean because of what I'm doing? I don't see a professional being that petty and I don't see myself as that important.
I've received overwhelmingly positive responses from those who have checked out the Wilgoren Watch. In my view, the extra coverage of her work stemming from coverage on NPR and in the Wired.com story they're working on -- this extra coverage hopefully will have her editors pay a little extra attention to her work. And that's all I really wanted to begin with.

Quanto e' viscido, esatto come il suo famoso biscione sputa veleno assassino, Silvio Berlusconi. Infiltrante, calcolatore e codardissimo, quando serve, ossia quasi sempre. Due cose di lui, che mi han colpito tantissimo, nelle ultime due settimane. Pochi giorni fa ha detto " sono imparziale, e quindi telefonero' sia a Obama che a Mac Cain". Ovviamente se la fa' super stra sotto, visto che , qs, per me, piuttosto affascinante mixage di Jfk e Martin Luther King, che sembra essere Obama Barack, e' sempre piu' voluto, da tutto il mondo, nonostante lo sporchissimo e puzzonissimo, tanto quanto putridissimo, gratuito e falso, dargli addirittura del terrorista ( per me son stati molto piu', quasi terroristi, i “fascismoderni neomaccartistissimi” George W Bush, Mel Sembler, Douglas Mc Elhaney, Bob Seldon Lady, Jeff Castelli, Philip Purcell and the super xuxluxclanist Daniel Hegglin of Morgan Stanley, a far indagare, e quindi a far rovinar la vita, di mezzo pianeta Terra, reo solo di essere di centro sin; e cio' pur se lo stesso mezzo pianeta Terra stesso, era, e stra rimane odiante, delle bombe di Osama nei treni, bus e palazzi; e a livello molto superiore al loro, a quello dei “Bushones” stessi). Berlusconi infatti noto' e intui’ benissimo, che Obama Barack durante il suo tour europeo ando' solo a Parigi, Berlino, Londra, e non Roma, proprio perche'.....
Proprio perche'? Perche' 8 mesi fa, Gianfranco Fini disse chiaramente " in America mai metteranno un negro come presidente". Silvio Berlusconi raddoppio' la dose e disse, a microfoni spenti, ma con diversi li presenti, che cio', poi, testimoniarono: " gli Usa mai metteranno alla loro Presidenza un negro, e per di piu' comunista". Ovvio che Obama provo ' schifo a venire in Italia. So' anche che Obama odia la concentrazione di poteri neomedioeval/ma..f..ascista di Berlusconi stesso, e le arroganze Pinochettianissime della sua Mafiaset Nazistset Mediaset, ieri, li, a sguinzagliare, super delinquenzialmente, e a pagare, non in nero, ma in "Nerone", in Estonia, presso i conti del filonazista Berlusconianione Ernesto Preatoni stesso ( ex socio, non per niente, del, ministo tutto "sesso in uffici governativi e discultura " Giuliano Urbani", in Domina), gli assassini di democrazia e liberta' Giuliano Tavaroli, Eamnuele Cipriani, Marco Mancini, Gaetano Saya, Riccardo Sindoca, Pio Pompa, e Pio Pompi.ari di contorno, varii. E, che io sappia, Obama stesso, odia anche altre odiosissime arroganze di Camorraset, Sacracoronaunitaset Ndrangaset, Mediaset, tipo quella di aver messo su una causa, pienissima di stile intimidatorio, tanto quanto lo sono i Berlusconianissimi Casalesi stessi, ad esempio, contro Google. Altra cosa che dimostra, poi, direi, per la 9miliardesima volta , quanto Silvio Berlusconi sia in politica solo ed esclusivamente per infiltrare, disarticolare, ed evertire lo stato italiano, cosi' da poter ridurlo a proprio feudo, e spennarlo, quindi, in seguito, al massimo.. In tutto il mondo non si possono

.. In tutto il mondo non si possono vendere azioni allo scoperto SOLOOOOOOOO se le stesse sono bancarie o finanziarie ( per evitare che gli sportelli si affollino di gente, terrorizzata nel vedere il prezzo della azione della propria banca crollare; piu’, per evitare, poi, anche, che la stessa gente, a detta propria banca, corra, per chiudere il conto; e che tutto qs, in seguito, porti a bancarotte). Il min dell'economia inglese, primo in Europa ( come il solito) a applicare qs disposizione, lo sentii io, con le mie orecchie, a Bbc radio one, era timidissimo, il giorno che della stessa norma parlo'. Disse che era una assoluta limitazione della democrazia, si, ma era atta a salvare le banche da fallimenti, e, comunque, temporanea. Che il resto degli altri settori borsistici sarebbe potuto venir venduto tranquillamente short, se cio' di desiderio. In Italia, lo stesso divieto, invece, e' stato allargato a tutto il listino. Vediamo perche'. Prima pero' un intro. L'enorme riciclatore di danaro mafioso Silvio Berlusconi ( tanto quanto il padre Luigi Berlusconi, noto banchiere di Cosa Nostra, google Banca Rasini; "mal sangue non mente") ha detto: " basta vendere allo scoperto ovunque in Borsa, distruggeremo gli speculatori". Primo, gli speculatori son chiunque, anche il suo ufficio di "tesoreria da lui riciclatissima per conto di milioni di criminali Mafiosi mondiali assassinissimi" di Fascistset Nazistset Mediaset o di Banca Mediolanum. Lo sono quindi anche i vari fondi hedge o banche, attraverso i propri " trading desks" . Secondo non han la palla di cristallo, qs indefiniti " speculatori" e possono anche farsi super male a vendere short. Terzo e principale punto, per me, se vi e' uno speculatore vomitevole, quello e' proprio Silvio Berlusconi, in politica per arricchirsi, e spendente poi, i suoi, gia di Toto Riina, assassinissimi danari, moltiplicatisi tutti grazie al suo infiltrare e super stra corompere la politica. Danari moltiplicati stessi, usati poi per possedere del tutto qs famosa “politica”. Creando cosi' un girocollo sinergico per lui, ma strozza democrazia e liberta' per 60 milioni di, per lui, " stupidi, se non ciucci, popolani". Torniamo ora, comunque, ad analizzare il perche' Silvio Berlusconi ha imposto il blocco totale delle vendite allo scoperto in Borsa Italiana ( unica in cio' al mondo, o quasi), via, “Berlusconianissimo” Lamberto Cardia. Il suo titolo Munnezzacamorristicaset Mafiosiassassiniset Nazipiduistiset Mediaset, stava tornando sotto il prezzo di collocamento: 3,70 euro circa. In quel caso, egli, avrebbe dovuto, come da accordi, confermatissimi, qui, nella City di Londra, ricomprare tutte le azioni che aveva piazzato ( termine giusto, "piazzato"), via ex olio di ricinizzatore del Corriere della Sera, Ubaldo Livolsi. Il famoso piazzamento di azioni Berluscalacaponeset, Berluscalpapponeset Mediaset del 96.

.Ad Al Waleed and co solo, egli, dovrebbe, infatti, in caso di qs sue azioni sotto i 3,7 euro, ricomprare montagne delle stesse e 5,6 euro. Con altri investitori “ amici degli amici”, egli dovrebbe ricomprarle a 7,7 euro, con altri, ancora, a 8,2 euro. Sarebbe per lui una emorraggia, di proprio danaro, mai stanco di rammentare, gia dei Corleonesi, similkiller. E qs, poi, per di piu’, lo rifarebbe diventare mega azionista della sua Corleoneset, Scampiaset, Locriset, Barivecchiaset Mediaset, e quindi, di nuovo, lontantissimo dall’avere una public company ( atta a fregare meglio gli elettori, quando egli, dice, agli stessi, la megapalla, che non ha conflitti di interessi). Quindi ( ripeto, UNICO CASO AL MONDO, O QUASI), egli ha allargato il divieto di vendere allo scoperto in Borsa a tutto il listino, solamente per parare la sua RaffaeleCutoloMicheleGrecoset, LicioGelliset, TotoRiinaset, AdolfHitlerset Mediaset. Per non farla scendere in Borsa sotto i 3,7 euro, e non fargli, di conseguenza, cosi', poi, cacciare, oceani di danaro, mai stanco di ripetere, gia di "Cosa Nostra". Ha poi egli supplicato "gli italiani" ( per lui simili alle penne delle galline, super quindi) a far con lui lo stesso che han dovuto fare con ( negli anni) Banco Napoli , Banca Roma, Alitalia: scucire i propri risparmi, gia in pericolo, per , in qs altro caso, salvare la sua Pinochetset, Goebbelset, Washingbrainset, Azzannademocraziaset, Mediaset. " Comprate i miei titoli, capitoooooo (?)", mi pare comunque, un puzzone discorso Hitlerian/Mussolinianissimo, FrankTuratellian/LeolucaBagarellissimo, anyway. Dopo di che, ha egli militarmente difeso la sua stessa nazimafiosissima azione in Borsa, e spinto per un accordo forte a Parigi e Washington, per far ripartire i mercati, ma non di certo per il bene comune, ma, specialmente, se non solo, perche' non scucissero, Al Waleed and co, a lui, un mare di quattrini, che erano gia, mai da smettere di ricordare, del famoso Stefano Bontade, che era solente chiamare o picciottu Marcello Dell'Utri, "macello" Dell'Utri, proprio perche' qs ultimo sempre gli chiedeva di ammazzare codesto o “coquello”, perche al macellino Dell'Utri e a Silvio Berlusconi scomodissimi. I mercati stan piu’ o meno salendo, ora, per me, solo perche' Obama e' sempre piu' avanti nei sondaggi, e i mercati non voglion nessuna terza guerra mondiale, alla quale, George W Bush, sempre per mio parere, ha avuto, con buona probabilita', forte tentazione di voler portarci ( come da, spesso idiotissimo " tanto peggio, tanto meglio"). Obama Barack ha detto grandi parole, negli ultimi mesi, come " buttiamo giu tutti i muri", che non han nulla a che fare con la "strategia della tensione" che da sempre, tutte le estreme destre del mondo, amano imporre ( specie la “non poco estrema” destra al potere ora in Usa e Italia). Mi ricordo che vivevo a Milano, e nel 2001 ( mi possa colpire un fulmine, anche solo esagerassi e non solo, dicessi il falso) ricevetti una lettera vilissima, ovviame

..ricevetti una lettera vilissima, ovviamente anonima, con pinzato lo storico articolo del Economist con titolo " Berlusconi unfit, ect ect", che ho ancora li, e potrei "scan-are" e mettere in rete, con su scritto " Nista Michele tu e il tuo amato Economist, da ora in poi, zitti o ........". E' ancora tutto li, dimostrabilissimo. Obama Barack, non credere al maf..ascista Berlusconi, si sta' comportando da viscidissimo, come il suo solito, da codardo, da biscione, con te, ora. Ma solo perche' se la sta’ facendo sotto. Tutti i suoi giornali han buttato fango su di te, Obama Barack, negli ultimi mesi. Le sue fintissime lacrime attuali son lacrime da alligatore sanguinariissimo. Salvaci dalla Nazindrangheta di Silvio Berlusconi, Obama Barack, please

PS Sorry if I wrote this letter of mine to Obama and to all his voters in italian, but i haven't got the time to translate it in English, today or on the next days. Is written by heart, and i prefer to send this message in the bottle, than keep it x msf. Win Obama, pls win. Careful to the Cia, los republicanos, i'm sure have stolen on 2000 and on 2004, the Bbc said that clearly view days ago too ( the Bbc and not TelePolPot international), but the world now needs a strong change, a radical change of Us politics. It needs all the walls to be broken down, as you greatly said, some months ago, or, the world itself, may get very close to the end.
