I read the New Yorker article on Howell Raines today. Very well done, I thought. Now that I have read it, I think the Howard Kurtz article in the WP about it was overblown. Not that much controversy.

Yep, I finished it over the weekend and agree with that assessment. It also makes the argument about the political character of newspapers much denser. You can see it but there is a huge intersection of the personal--who gets along with whom, etc., the degree of "comfort" for the publisher when he/she chooses a managing editor, and the journalists' ethic to get the story right regardless of the ideological outcomes.

Frankly, my sense for the Raines' story is that it is yet another illustration why, like it or not, and I do have my misgivings despite some of my posts, the New York Times is the best at it.
