old story. Schuh posted that yesterday. You didn't see my response? ah..here it is: Message 8101374 To: Daniel Schuh (36296 ) From: Dwight E. Karlsen Tuesday, Mar 2 1999 2:51AM ET Reply # 36386 of 36512 >Making those calls--editing--is at the heart of journalism. The importance of verification became all the more clear when viewers saw NBC's interview.< "but boy, when we're going after a Clarence Thomas or a Bob Packwood, by golly that's different! We'll cover the first sniffs in the wind. We'll cover the feminist comments on the sniffs in the wind. We'll cover the calls made by the feminists for all who have been "harassed" by Packwood, to please make yourself known and come forward, altar-call style, and have your justice. Take your time, or be speedy! We don't care, we'll cover it from beginning to end! We'll cover every Packwood diary entry in intimate detail, dissecting every line on at least page 3. And oh! Will we cover a Senate grilling of an Anita Hill! We'll stop the weather report, we'll stop the traffic report. We'll stop the music. We'll cover it for every hour, for every minute that anyone in Congress is speaking on these weighty matters. At least, we used to do it that way. Now, we're more judicious. After all, that's OUR MAN up there! You've just got to understand our plight. We had no idea he was like that. Really. We wish someone had warned us. But alas, it's just a little late in the game for woulda coulda shouldas, isn't it? So now, we're just a little more judicious in our (sniff) "Journalistic Standards". That's it. We'll really pound the table on our "heavy responsibilities". The "need to be cautious". To "check out all the facts" before "jumping in". We go slowww. We put him in there, and now we're in a pickle. ------
