From True/Slant:
At a time when the newspaper I love needs every reader it can possibly hold onto, no story is more timely than that of a man covering the recession and telling people how to survive it.

That I am part of the news makes this all the more awkward, but as one deadline ends, another begins.

Such criticisms should be faced head on, and it’s pretty cowardly that the “hack” does not allow comments on his post so there could be a response to his inflammatory post. As....
Why are you giving this hack’s jealous opinions any attention? Same with the flickr photographer that is quitting photography?.
