Fowler Distinguished Chair in Communication at Kennesaw State University and the chief blogger of PJNet.."

On occasion, you do get ethical behavior but sadly not often enough. This extra step--of confronting and reporting what the media does in response--or does not do--is critical for achieving change and, ultimately safeguarding citizens who depend on truth and accuracy in journalism. <br><br>Please check out our site: <a href="http://www.stinkyjournalism.org">http://www.stinkyjournalism.org</a> . <br><br>BTW.

It’s frustrating because it seems that we, at StinkyJournalism.org, are one of the few media investigations sites that confronts the MsM and reports their bad behavior that results when asking for a correction, for example. On occasion, you do get ethical behavior but sadly not often enough. This extra step–of confronting and reporting what the media does in response–or does not do–is critical for achieving change and, ultimately safeguarding citizens who depend on truth and accuracy in journalism.

"it’s really the same ole, same old PR business model, just applied to a new platform..." oh boy. At least with sites such as Digg, users can flag these types of users/posts. With Time/Warner/Turner/CNN you never really know whose interests are being catered to, and what -- if any -- moderation/verification takes place.
