Letters to the Editor

NBC and McCaffrey's coordinated responses to the NYT story Emails obtained between NBC executives and the retired General further underscore NBC's gross indifference to journalistic ethics. Glenn Greenwald [2008-12-01]

• The Mighty Wurlitzer: Endless distraction.

  Once more, we see The Mighty Wurlitzer droning on with the conventional wisdom of influence peddlers who benefit from the direct receipt of kickback for their tireless efforts. "Journalistic integrity?" hahahaha!

  For brutal objectivity, I assiduously ignore 90% of what is broadcast and written in the traditional media, and I pay attention to flawlessly credentialed critics and academics who have no axe to grind but fact and truth. But, then, my parents let me teethe on Ramparts Magazine.

  Next up for spin: The weather report. Why would NBC have purchased The Weather Channel?
