Notice I didn't say anything much about China in my previous post even though I mentioned it in an earlier post. There must be a reason why I didn't talk about China. Now since you know about China, just share it. But I also want to remind you that what I said about India and Pakistan is what I experienced and continue to experience first hand. Not through the eyes of some journalist who is driven to report to meet some personal agenda. == I hope the right wingers and the Tea Party folks such as Palin read this article before they malign the media as "Lame stream media" etc. etc. It is folks like the Tea Party folks and now Romney included who need to mend their tongue, nay their way of thinking. They are the ones who invite hate for America, some of which are restrained such as in the case of the British during their olympics and some violent such as the ones currently occurring in the ME. New York Times Criticized By Public Editor For Scrubbing Romney Story The Huffington Post \| By Jack Mirkinson Posted: 09/14/2012 8:40 am Updated: 09/14/2012 9:19 am The decision by the New York Times to substantially rework a critical article about Mitt Romney drew a rebuke from the paper's new public editor on Wednesday night. Romney has been getting a severe drubbing for his response to the attacks and protests in Egypt and Libya. A piece in the Times added to that drumbeat; it featured anonymous Romney advisers criticizing the candidate's actions and, in one case, saying that he had been so harsh in his statements because "we've had this consistent critique and narrative on Obama's foreign policy, and we felt this was a situation that met our critique." But that piece soon vanished, and was replaced by a very different one under the same URL. Some of the most biting quotes were removed in the process. After Talking Points Memo highlighted the discrepancies, the Times was forced to respond. One of the authors of the new piece, Peter Baker, told HuffPost that some of the anonymous quotes had been removed because they were replaced by on-the-record statements. Phil Corbett, the Times' standards editor, also told HuffPost that it's common policy to rework a piece under the same URL. On Wednesday, Margaret Sullivan, the Times' new public editor, weighed in. She appeared to like the first version of the story better, saying that it had been clearer on the crucial issue of the timing of Romney's attacks. Sullivan concluded that, while she understood that the paper refines stories all of the time, the pieces were so different that they should have been kept separate: The stories were very different in wording, if not in intent, and the quotes from Romney advisers were striking ones to remove altogether.It's clear to me that these two versions should have been treated as different stories and that both should have remained accessible on the Web site.
