Although this story is from August of 2003, I think it has bearing on the outing of Buckhead.

Baquet, the managing editor of the slimes either directly or indirectley approved of the Buckhead outing. He sets the tone for the Slimes, and that tone includes paranoia about the internet checking up on the factual content of his newspaper.

If Mr. Baquet were to get his head out of his ... er... the sand, he would find out the "loss of public confidence in journalism" results more from letting his personal bias and lack of personal ethics interfere with the "reporting than anything that happens on the internet.

THis time around, it's Rather and the MSM that makes it hard to tell the difference between a myth and the truth --- I'd be willing to bet that that happens more often than not.

Everyone ought to take a look at "How the News Makes Us Dumb: the Death of Wisdom in an Information Age" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0830822038/qid=1095536466/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-3668452-2001641?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

... because of websites such as the Drudge Report, "people can't tell the difference anymore between rumor and fact,"...but they're getting awfully good at telling the difference between MSM lies and fact......
