Re: Side Note Beth's site is down
When a NY Times writer, for example, gets a fact wrong there are two main differences compared to what Andrew did here, in my book. One, the NY Times writer is getting paid to get his facts right, and presenting his story as "the facts", thereby any correction to that is fair game. Writing about your favorite Xbox games is not, last time I checked, a fact-based aritcle. Two, when said NY Times writer gets his facts wrong I don't think it would be appropriate to conclude your criticism with "Gee every professional journalist is completely incapable of checking his own facts". Andrew implied at the conclusion of the article that all non-professional webloggers should just not write, didn't he? How do you take his concluding paragraphs then if that's not the case?
