Very insightful interview of two veteran journalists.

An excellent piece on differing work life ethics and their results compared internationally, with plenty of references.

Good piece of investigation on how a right wing petroleum magnate is funding ideological research of dubious quality in business schools.

An impassioned and compelling consumer-ethical plea for print journalism subscription.

Real mainstream reporting lives! So nice to get some deliverance from false balance. Even if only on the last administration.

Does a good job of showing how the lies get planted into the mainstream, i.e., via innuendo on Fox and Limbaugh.

Interesting revelation, but missing a lot of detail on how this so-called war against Fox is to be waged.

Great angle but precious little new here. Basically covers background that anyone who has payed attention to the general economic history of this country since the Great depression already knows all too well. Glaringly omitted is any attempt to actually answer the subtitled question of whether Americans can learn to temper their addiction to financial gambling. It would have been nice to hear some suggestions on how the gov't might try to help them learn that lesson.

One-sided trumpeting of the rightist globalization argument this so-called leftist editorial page always gives. Never considers how tariffs might work to protect U.S. manufacturing if the gov't gave incentives for U.S. companies to keep manufacturing here. Germany somehow keeps manufacturing so why can't we? Furthermore, the unsustainability of increased CO2 emissions from continued globalized shipping is entirely ignored.

This New Yorker comment (as opposed to an article) is characteristically succinct and makes a strong argument that Sotomayor was yet another Justice being disingenuous at her confirmation hearings. Offers an explanation that the process has gotten so politicized that Justices feel they have little other choice.

Not a whole lot new here. Everyone knows (or should know) by now that the GOP is running on empty. As analysis, it is closer to opinion than reporting as it provides much more argument to support its thesis than reporting.

Factual and concise, but a tad cryptic too.

This is opinion. As such, it should not be judged as reporting "littered with opinion." It uses sound reasoning and evidence to support its conclusion, which is the elephant in the room the MSM refuses to acknowledge. Thankfully, the NYT redeems itself somewhat by publishing this refreshing bit of truth--albeit in the op-ed pages. Still, this is the kind of journalism Cronkite engaged in occasionally when he knew the country was being misled. We need a whole lot more of his kind of guts.

Gutsy albeit some problems with the way he determines the dollar value of human life: If car accident chances were higher than the ones Singer provides, it's not clear people would pay that much more for air bags. But this wouldn't necessarily imply a lower value of life. It could rather indicate a lower ability to pay, which doesn't get addressed in his argument.

Sets the standard of journalistic integrity--he's doing philosophy. And well. Much to ponder on parallels with the run up to the Iraq invasion. As Cronkite puts it: Our collective minds get clouded by 1. National pride and 2. Human loss. The second is continually used to reinforce the former in a viscous cycle of pointless destruction.

An illuminating profile of the new Senator-comedian from Minnesota, who ironically or fittingly didn't enter this office laughing at all.
