The executive editor of the Washington Post, Leonard Downie Jr. has now made it clear that the crackdown on Dan Froomkin (crime: alleging that the media should hold the president accountable) is just another episode of the media changing it’s coverage in order to appease the Bush administration. How far will these guys go? It’s amazing that the same newspaper that valiantly published the Pentagon Papers thirty-four years ago is up in arms over a newspaper column that dares to further the idea of journalism.
If I want stenography, I’ll go here or here. Please, look at yourselves and have some shame.
