Accountability Journalism Best of the Web Today BY JAMES TARANTO Wednesday, July 18, 2007 2:18 p.m. EDT Here's the latest example of the Associated Press's departure from its old-fashioned just-the-facts style of journalism: <<< The Dow Jones industrial average swept past 14,000 for the first time Tuesday after a mostly tame inflation reading gave investors reason to extend an extraordinary--but perhaps questionable--Wall Street rally. >>> Does reporter Tim Paradis believe there are well-grounded suspicions that the rally is unsound--that is, that it is "questionable"? We don't know, because he says only that it is perhaps questionable. Perhaps it is questionable, and perhaps it isn't. Paradis's characterization conveys nothing of substance; it is a mere innuendo, a suggestion that the rally isn't all it's cracked up to be. Would it have appeared in an AP dispatch on a stock market rally when Bill Clinton was president? opinionjournal.com biz.yahoo.com
