My brother Dan has a good memory, and uses it to write A refresher on how the press failed the people (on Iraq) at Nieman Watchdog.
Of course, that's not the only issue on which one could make that critique, but it's certainly one of the biggest.
Update: Does this qualify as an answer to The Seth Leibsohn Challenge?
Dear,
I’m a korean living in seoul.(name: Oh Minseok)
Korean special investigative team investigated samsung
corporation.
But they did not work right.
Suspicious to have been bought off.
Samsung corporation had many crimes.
And the team investigated samsung corporation.
It contained korean companies samsung,huyndai,sk CEOs’ illegal issuing
stocks or bonds. ( previous CEOs or present CEOs )
The quantity were plenty.
(Three company CEOs did(and are doing) many crimes to me.
Many koreans are knowing it.
But many koreans are bought off by illegal issuing stocks or bonds.
Korean prosecutors are also guilty.)
The team knew it.
Korean special investigative team must investigated this.
But they concealed it.
I ask for asking for this criminal investigation to prosecutors in any
country.
And help the shareholders and me.
P.S)
Three companies are hacking me and trying to kill me.
And are suspicious to use my name and email illegally.
If you receive another message that I dictated above are not true,
it is not from me, but from three companies.
The things I dictated above are true.
very interesting article. i think the press is loosing more and more on trust. the mainreason could be they just think of “great headlines” and much lesser on facts and neutral informations. i hope that will change and would be better in future …
Interesting article, yes. Inherent in this discussion is the difficulty in having the fortitude to raise the hard questions in the aftermath of some future 9/11-type attack. The shortcomings going into Iraq are partially attributed to the patriotic fervor in the intermediate post 9/11 timeframe. When public outcry is at its extreme after the next (God forbid) attack, the media environment/public sentiment will be similar, or more likely stronger, than pre-Iraq invasion…there will be a bias for immediate action, and reluctance to ask the hard questions.
@minseok: Scary! Hard to believe that’s true. Wish you best luck man!
