This is an interesting yarn for those of you in the online news biz. The Wall Street Journal, which has long been walled off behind a subscription-only model, is sending previews to some of those information-wants-to-be-free blogger types.

The NYT's public editor Daniel Okrent opens up his column to readers who were commenting on his Oct. 10 evaluation of the Times's election coverage.

I saw a few references to this clip: David Akin pointed to it on CAJ-L, as did the PastPeak blog -- among many others.

But I'll add my voice to the chorus: It was a remarkably honest dialogue -- well, one way, at least -- between Daily Show host Jon Stewart with Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson of CNN's Crossfire.
