Report It My Way Or The Highway!

Oh, this is really good. What happens when Mark Yost, an editor at Knight Ridder is critical of media coverage of the Iraq war (Trust me when I say he is not a conservative) and is blasted by Steve Lovelady, the managing editor of the Columbia Journalism Review Daily and then Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine e-mails them to see if there can be a discussion about the media coverage? Well, you get a honest look at the "objective" journalism coming out of Columbia, of course. I guess Steve didn't figure Jeff was going to post his e-mails. As Jeff Jarvis points out, you would think the EDITOR of Columbia Journalism Review Daily might enjoy a spirited debate. But....nooooooooo. The liberal fangs come out showing us that there really is no such thing as objective journalism these days.

What made Lovelady so angry? Well, Mark Yost betrayed the media! He had been in lockstep before!! He actually wondered why the media was not covering the good news stories of Iraq.

Steve Lovelady is so angry that he can't seem to stop e-mailing Jeff Jarvis about it! Just read the link. It tells you all you need to know about journalism these days.
