Sent to me by a friend of mine:

"New York Times reporter Judith Miller is sent to jail for contempt of court, but not for writing months of front-page fiction about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," a reader in California recently wrote to Salon. "Al Capone did time in prison for tax evasion, but not for murder. I guess you have to take what you can get."

The media blog of the Toronto Star's Antonia Zerbisias now has comments.

As one person wrote to her:

Oh my God. Comments. Do you know you're in for?

Look what they did to Andrew Coyne. And he's one of THEM.

Afterthought:

Now why doesn't the Star give a prominent link and a blog to public editor Sharon Burnside? And why does the Star still link to an April 16 column by her on its corrections page?

CBS has hired a blogger to handle a blog that will deal with reader feedback to allow comment about its shows and stories, both broadcast and online.

In the wake of 9/11, the U.S. response was to harden its borders and repel suspicious people. But what if the terrorists are your own citizens? This is now Britain's dilemma.

This BBC piece looks at why four young British Muslims might have wanted to take part in the devastating terror attack of 7/7.

The Toronto Star's Antonia Zerbisias calls bullshit on the MSM's new love affair with "participatory journalism" (aka citizen journalism).

I offer a few thoughts of my own in response.
