AP Editor Touts Accountability Journalism<\/a>.
\nThe Associated Press’ Online Political Editor, Ron Fournier, wrote a memo to his colleagues advocating what he calls “Accountability Journalism”<\/em>, but what I call simply “Journalism.”<\/em> Nonetheless, it is a welcome philosophical shift if the AP lives up to it. Here’s a choice cut:<\/p>\n

“Don’t give equal weight to spin<\/strong>. Just because a public official says it doesn’t mean you need to put it in your story or give his claim equal billing to what you know to be true.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

China Sentences Former Food And Drugs Chief To Death<\/a>.
\nZheng Xiaoyu was found guilty of accepting $852,000 (US) worth of bribes from pharmaceutical companies to expedite the approval of new drugs. How many American lawmakers and lobbyists would be on death row if this policy were in effect here?<\/p>\n

Why The L.A. Times Called For Iraq Pullout<\/a>.
\nGreg Mitchell at Editor and Publisher has an interesting column on how the L.A. Times went from “reluctantly”<\/em> endorsing Bush’s escalation in Iraq just last month, to calling for troops to be brought home. Jim Newton, the editorial page editor at the Times, seemed surprised that, “the response from readers has been about 75% positive.”<\/em> Why that would be surprising is a mystery considering that the war is opposed by about the same percentage of the city’s (and the country’s) residents.<\/p>\n

FBI Seeking To Re-create Total Information Awareness<\/a>.
\nThe massive and intrusive data mining project that was scrapped under fire two years ago is getting a makeover by the FBI. The same FBI that was just found to be unlawfully gathering private information<\/a> about citizens from Telecom, and other consumer companies.<\/p>\n

Jolie Doesn’t Want Fox At Premiere<\/a>.
\nAngelina Jolie requested that Fox News not be allowed to attend the premiere of her new movie, “A Mighty Heart.”<\/em> Fox, upset at not being invited to the party, responds with a long diatribe against Jolie’s past tumultuous relationship with the press. The article kind of justifies her reluctance to accommodate the Fox network in particular and the press in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
