Mr M...Cross-posted from thisongoinwar.blogspot.com<br /><br />Mr Medad, what you write here is quite stunning. We have felt the sting of being ignored by the NYT editors when stories directly touched us, personally. It's frustrating and painful, no doubt about it. But we have been ignored by other large bodies, including a certain Middle East government to which we pay our taxes, on issues just as painful if not more so, and we have learned how small we and our interests are in their eyes. But the NYT scandal is different. Here they pretend to have an attentive ear, an editor who represents us small people. But in light of what you say, her role - taken together with what she conceded in her column - is a farce. Understanding what it means when Big Journalism engages in farce, and the damage that flows from that, ought to make for interesting analysis by less ideologically-dedicated journalism professionals. We intend to start hunting for some.This Ongoing Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071059442104716833noreply@blogger.com
