...over this piece. I'm not sure I understand Manjoo's purpose in writing it or Salon's purpose in publishing it--unless they're just collecting up the benjamins.
Do they imagine that readers will be unable to find suitable criticism of RFK's Rolling Stone story somewhere other than at Salon? Or do they simply want to "scoop" the Washington Times and Fox News?
A responsible publication goes to press with a factually comprehensive and analytically muscular story on a topic of this importance--or not at all.
Perhaps this is meant to stir up the crowd a little and boost traffic. I guess that's part of the business, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing to encounter such insubstantial "journalism" at the generally creditable Salon.com.
