The Laughing Wolf

And The Backlash Continues…

Courtesy of InstaPundit and Reason, came this article from the Lufkin Daily News in Texas. Seems that the problems at the New York Times are getting worse, with newspapers dropping their stories and columnists such as Maureen Dowd.

Now, Dowd should be dropped for what she did. It was wrong and dishonest. Then again, she can take the out that she is a pundit, a columnist, and not a journalist, but deliberately altering a quote to fit your personal prejudices is not a good idea. It matters not if it is a quote of a local feature subject or the President. It is just wrong.

Ms. Dowd has so far refused to explain or apologize, and her printing of the correct and accurate quote with no context does not correct the problem. My hope is that more papers will drop her and drop stories from the New York Times until such time as they once again take up the profession of journalism
