I still think the worst thing Raines has done recently isn't this Blair issue.
It's quoting an anonymous, low-level military source that the war was in a quagmire and making it the lead news story that day in the NYT.
That's bias, plain and simple. Everyone knows you can find such a source. Elevating those disgruntled quotes to front page news is plain evidence of bias: Raines couldn't possibly have believed the quote was representative of anything. The Times was trying to *make*, not report, news with that story.
That's the worst scandal.

First off, thanks to Don Irvine and the good people at AIM for coming down today. Their presence made a big difference today in getting the message out about the need for accountability at The New York Times.
We were surprised when the reporter for the NYT came out. She started interviewing Don, Angelwood and me, but she quickly turned the interview into a debate.
A Washington Post reporter arrived and Don spoke with him as Angelwood and I continued debating the NYT reporter. The interview was more like Crossfire. She kept defending her paper and its management while Angelwood and I kept hammering away.
She even insisted that we should be protesting at NYT HQ in NYC rather than the D.C. bureau.
She also kept bringing up Stephen Glass's plagiarism while at the New Republic as the same as what's been going on at her paper. While she finally conceded a few points, she continued to argue that it was debatable whether Maureen Dowd mischaracterized President Bush's recent remarks about Al-Qaeda.
All in all, it was the most contentious interview we've done since Bill Clinton's impeachment. It'll be interesting to see what, if any, of this is reported by The Times.
