Criticism & the NY Times Editor
It appears that the NY Times doesn't exactly welcome criticism...
Thomas Lifson shares his email exchange with the NY Times editor, and wonders:
"Where’s the outrage?
Bill Keller’s lack of protest over being had, his lack of evident resolve to get to the bottom of the situation, and his unwillingness to confront the actual criticism I made suggest some pretty ugly conclusions. He has been duped and he is content to pretend it is all just a little thing, not his fault, and that doesn’t matter very much, anyway. Or so it seems.
Is this really the extent of his regard for publishing the truth?
The executive editor of the New York Times is the most powerful figure in the American media. I don’t see a leader effectively confronting his organization’s problems. The consequences extend throughout our media structure, whose members too often follow the pilot fish at the New York Times."
