With all the bullshit strewn about by The New York Times regarding Senator McCain — all of which turned out to be quite less than factual, to put it mildly — you’d have thought it would have been business as usual amongst the egotists that put word to paper but it wasn’t.
Most of them actually castigated the sloppy so-called-journalism of Times. Some weren’t overjoyed with having to do so, but bitch slap the Gray Lady they did.
So, next time I’m raving and ranting about what sloppily subjective scribes they are, I’ll try and remember that — on occasion, and not only this occasion — some of them remembered what it was like to tell a story without forming an opinion.
After all … that’s why we got into this biz in the first place.
