Betsy's Page Here's Michael Barone on the New York Times editors of the opinion page inserting totally biased sentences into a column by Philip Carter about the need for Bush to do more to call people to serve in the armed services. This was totally inexcusable and the Times correction leaves the impression that it is standard practice to insert sentences to serve a political agenda into a contributor's column. Michael Barone knows that this is not standard editorial practice and is absolutely right that such an editor should have been but probably wasn't fired. Here is the totally unsatisfactory correction notice. <<< The Op-Ed page in some copies of Wednesday's newspaper carried an incorrect version of the below article about military recruitment. The article also briefly appeared on NYTimes.com before it was removed. The writer, an Army reserve officer, did not say, "Imagine my surprise the other day when I received orders to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., next Sunday," nor did he characterize his recent call-up to active duty as the precursor to a "surprise tour of Iraq." That language was added by an editor and was to have been removed before the article was published. Because of a production error, it was not. >>> Notice how the sentences inserted are totally out of place for the column that Carter wrote. What is this cockamanie excuse that they inserted such sentences but meant to take them out later? Garbage! betsyspage.blogspot.com instapundit.com dailypundit.com nytimes.com
