A couple of questions:
How many entries here within the past few weeks have linked to traditional media sources as the basis for commentary? How often do your contributors point readers toward original blog reporting?
How often are blog readers treated to second-, third- or umpteen-hand links, only to find that the original source of the story is either dubious or non-existent?
I’m not defending traditional media or Lemann’s article, just curious.
