Ron Jackson Comments on Shoddy New York Times Journalism

Per my post on the lopsided New York Times story about Marchex and domain names:

"Quite right frank – this is simply shoddy and dishonest journalism and something that no self-respecting media outlet should tolerate – especially one that has had a reputation for accuracy like the NY Times. Letting reporters color news pieces with their own biases used to be a no no. But today newspaper editors and reporters are being laid off left and right as their branch of media continues to wither and die on the vine. I guess it is not surprising that those very scared people continually lash out at the force that is on the way to putting them out of business – but whatever the excuse – it is still simply bad journalism and in the end that will come back to bite them in the [caboose]."

I can only hope Ron. If anyone deserves a good bite in the posterior it’s the author of that piece.

    A right-on read Ron except for the allusion of the N Y Times having a reputation for accuracy. Maybe many years ago.

  2. Sahar Sarid says:

    This is (false) link-baiting at its best. With declining readership and business, who can blame them?

    Paper is a thing of the past. I read several posts by Frank stating this very position, now the AP urging the news industry to get with it. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071102/ap_on_hi_te/ap_curley_2
