NY Times Credibility

I almost hate to post this article from Slate.com cause Kat and I are really big fans of many aspects of the NY Times. Maybe it'll help reinforce the idea that we really try to have a balanced perspective on the information we take in and filter through this blog. Jack Shafer of Slate.com has some pretty scathing criticism of the NY Times over Judith Miller when couched in the context of events of recent years that call into question the integrity and accuracy of our country's most venerable news outlet.

While I always thought that Miller should be lauded for the journalistic principals she upheld by refusing to name her source in the Valerie Plame incident, her previous record is less than stellar as pointed out by Shafer.
