As readers of the Times, however, our view is that what we have been seeing on its front page in recent years is less straightforward reporting and more advocacy journalism. In this sense, the scandal over Jayson Blair's fabrications is symptomatic of a broader credibility problem that won't vanish merely because Mr. Raines does. 'Advocacy Journalism' has become the standard operating procedure for the liberal press!
They no longer 'report'. They now print propaganda & opinion in what used to be news reports of ....who, what, where, when & why.
'News Analysis' has become the excuse for articles that belong on the Editorial page.

Hey, Julie, get with it! The new buzzword is "explanatory" journalism. "Advocacy" has a bit too much of the sound of truth in it. Can't have that! It's OK, though -- the anointed lie to us stupid peons for our own good, so the ends justifies the means, right?
