One Timesman, who asked not to be identified, called Sunday's article a "whitewash" of how management - particularly Raines and Boyd - allowed Blair to work over several years despite dozens of published corrections of his work.

I love it. The NYT lives by the Anonymous Source. Let it die by it.

I haven't been following this story closely...have any of this guy's fabricated "anonymous source" stories been chronicled in the news in the last few days? I hate seeing "anonymous sources" quoted and often have a hard time believing them. But, sometimes they are accurate. What's a news junkie to do?

SOME would say that's harsh... (I think the words 'some say' should be banned from news. I cringe whenever I hear it because I know it's spin but the masses don't).
