Little to no posting until mid-afternoon...a Powerpoint deadline looms...but INDC posts an interview with CBS...it's...um... illuminating.
Karas(CBS): "The truth of the e-mails were absolutely irrelevant to the piece, because all the story said was that people were worried. It’s a story about human beings that are afraid of the draft. We did not say that this (e-mail) was true, it’s just circulating. We are not verifying the e-mail."
The truth is CBS reports biased viewpoints, innuendo, junk e-mail and gossip.
UPDATE: Lileks turns a nice phrase:
big media operations are too lardy to move as quickly as they should. They’re brontos lumbering into velociraptor territory.Posted by feste at September 30, 2004 09:07 AM | TrackBack
