Don't Editorialize. Clymerize! - Nagourney's breakthrough. By Mickey Kaus
Here's Mickey Kaus quoting a Times story. The context is that ex-Timesman (and Bush-appointed "major league asshole") Adam Clymer can now serve as a mouthpiece for Nagourney's opinion without appearing "biased:"
"I would be surprised if television coverage of American servicemen getting shot or killed in Iraq, or of people questioning what the Bush campaign did in response to 9/11, is good for the president's re-election," said Adam Clymer, a former political reporter for The New York Times ..
Note, though, that "former political reporter for the New York Times" in there, which I think mitigates Kaus' criticism somewhat, since it serves as at least minimal disclosure.
On the other hand, come to think of it, were the same sentence to appear in almost any A-list blog, it might probably look like this:
"I would be surprised if television coverage of American servicemen getting shot or killed in Iraq, or of people questioning what the Bush campaign did in response to 9/11, is good for the president's re-election," said Adam Clymer.
