Media Malfeasance: Short of handing local rioters a locator map, the newspaper of record provides enough information to find the home of the police officer some still accuse of murdering Michael Brown for no good reason.
We're not sure what the New York Times was thinking when it published an item last Monday by Julie Bosman on the recent marriage of Officer Darren Wilson along with the town they lived in and street they lived on.
The street in the small St. Louis suburb they live in is only two blocks long, and the piece had almost all the information for some loony tune to find it. The Times didn't print the street number, but that detail could be probably picked up from online sources with a search using Wilson's name and the street and town name.
Slate helped out any crazy that might be interested with a photo of the modest red brick home, lest they fire-bomb the wrong residence.
We might understand the publishing of the town name, but what purpose did printing the street serve?
Philip Corbett, the Times' associate managing editor for standards, which it claims to have, emailed a self-serving explanation for doing it to Erik Wemple at the Washington Post — to wit: it had already been done.
"The Times did not 'reveal' anything here," Corbett said. "The name of the street was widely reported as far back as August, including in the Washington Post."
True enough, an Aug. 15 Post article did mention the name of the street in a story shortly after the shooting of Michael Brown and the releasing of Wilson's name.

She also has an arrest record, for shoplifting (scrubbed from the Wisconsin courts website), and it is being alleged (though as yet unconfirmed) that Snowflake’s hubby works for the JustUs Department, which raises all kinds of questions about cross-pollination of her “reporting”.
Some conservative reporter could probably permanently make a name for themselves by exposing all the incestuous ties between this current Administration and the media at all levels.
The NYT will be the first paper to publish the truth about Obama’s nebulous personal history, but only after Zero is no longer in the WH.
In the meantime they’re sitting on that information.
I bet she’d like to get some Kwanza cards sent to her. Maybe she’d like to see a picture of Wilson enclosed. LOL
To be really snarky, a la Maureen Dowd, I bet she’s going to love to see pictures of Wilson’s soon to be born little baby. That will sting.
David Carr of the NYT has a funny column (IMO, but not his) about lay-offs at the NYT:
LOL!
Since the Bosmans were prominent in Kenosha, it was not hard to discover that Bruce was Dick Bosman's first cousin, and therefore Julie was Dick's first cousin once removed.
No matter how much you defend the practice, THIS IS WRONG.
I have them written down and I'm sending them Christmas cards..........
And, what about the address of the editor of the New York Times. He needs some visitors too. It is time people be held responsible for their actions. These two have blood on their hands if anything happens to Darren Wilson and his family. If anything happens we should demand their arrest for aiding and abetting.
I have it on good authority that his address was only published so that individuals could send him care packages.
Wilson should soon own the NYT if this country were fair.
They’ve already gotten a lot of Chinese food and Pizza!
posted at 11:37 am. This one lasted longer than most.
The addresses and telephone numbers of all reporters, department heads and owners of NYT should be published as retaliation.
