Time for a Blogger Ethics Panel
by Brien Jackson
One of the more obvious examples of the embarrassment that was Bill Kristol’s tenure at the New York Times was the rather ridiculous number of corrections the Times had to run for his columns. It seems, however, that he won’t have a similar problem when he starts writing for the Washington Post, because the Post doesn’t seem to believe in issuing corrections to factual errors that appear on their Op-Ed page.

TPM was all over this, too:

I’m guessing Will and Hiatt are remaining mum because it’s just a bunch DFH bloggers that are crying foul over this and maybe it’ll all just blow over.

Yeah, TPM did most of the legwork, I just happened to have the MMA story tabbed when I was updating.
