- Radosh on Okrent on LandesmanDaniel Radosh, the guy who (more or less) started the whole thing going about Landesman's sex-slaves article, has written today on Okrent's verdict (discussed at length in my piece yesterday).His line is not a million miles away from mine - after admitting manifold flaws in the piece, Okrent hits us with a false alternative: we may either rubbish Landesman or believe that sex-slavery is a problem.Radosh promises a more detailed treatment of the Okrent piece later. |

- WaPo and the Landesman-type storyOmbud Michael Getler (March 1) highlights the sourcing difficulties of a story on the hunt for Osama bin Laden by Steve Coll - who just so happens to be the Post's managing editor - that ran in the paper a few days ago.Whilst there's no suggestion that Coll's material - from a book he's shilling - has been called into question, the freewheeling style, with no effort at disclosing information on the source of individual facts, is similar to that of Landesman's work.Getler says Coll's stuff is an example of what some call "trust me" journalism. (And what other kind is there?)The fact that Coll has passed on the tired, often meaningless, old formulas doesn't seem to me to make his pieces any more or less needing of trust than the standard WaPo extrusion of the Administration's bowel movement of the day. |

- The perverted coverage of homo-marriageThe substantive issue is one to which I've paid no heed - except as a means to a different end [1].But Howard Kurtz brings the issue into my wheelhouse with a piece (March 1) comparing and contrasting the tone of the coverage of two public officials who defied the law of their state: former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore - he of the Ten Commandments - and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who's been directing an Armistead Maupin fantasy for the last few days.Though, to be fair, Kurtz's piece lacks the statistical rigour one would prefer to see, he confidently alleges that, while Moore's press has generally been sour - it's Dayton, TN in 1925 all over again - Newsom's monkey-shine has on the whole basked in the warm glow of the media's tacit approval.He quotes Andrew Sullivan - who else? |

- Meh-heh. Us Weekly is running new ads that have two women talking about one's boyfriend acting all "Colin" after the "Ben" he put her through. (Watch the ad here.) The ads, created by Deutsch, recenlty best known for agreeing to work with the kids from The Apprentice, are sort of funny but would have benefited from more maniacal line-readings from the women while on Stairmasters or getting their nails done. Besides Ben and Colin, other celebrities turned descriptors Brad, Christina, and Shannen. |
