I stopped reading when the writer took Professor Hailey's pathetic work seriously. This writer simply does not understand the subject he's writing about. He doesn't understand the serifs and Kerning aspects of typesetting that make Little Green Footballs correct, and Hailey dead wrong.

But one should "consider the source." The Columbia Journalism Review is the "house organ" for the establishment press. That explains why the Dan Rather fall back position, the memos may be forged but the charges are correct, rears its ugly head in this article.

An honest article on the downfall of Dan Rather will not appear in CJR until the School of Journalism accepts the blogosphere as a legitimate part of American journalism. I don't think that will occur in my lifetime.

Back when Wizbang was deconstructing Hailey and archiving his coverups, Prof. Jim Lindgren weighed in and just destroyed the credibility of Hailey's work: "To say that his report is shoddy scholarship would be an understatement."
