The contents of this blog are entirely fictional (and often ridiculous), intended only to amuse, or to provoke lively, non-libellous discussion. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental, even if they have the same names and are exactly alike in every respect except for a potentially defamatory one. Posts are written in character, not as Jeremy Sear (even the ones suspiciously marked "Jeremy"). Opinions expressed on the blog do not in any binding sense represent the views of any organisation of which the author is a member, or the views of the author himself, even when he says that they do (it'll be in character, you see?). Links to external sites should not be taken as endorsement of their content or views. The fact that this site is written in English is not intended to be construed as an insult to other world languages, all of which the author respects greatly, even the stupid ones that are bound to die out within a generation.
It’s also a warning to read beyond the first link in Google.
I know they don’t want to admit it, but I don’t see why they should be accountable for the “quality” or how nice the link is…
Which is all well and good but it doesn’t make the NYT a bastion of journalistic ethics.
The journalists at the NYT produce good writing. It is the overt political agenda that sucks. Their coverage of the Duke Lacrosse case was typical. The NYT journalists couldn’t accept that the black female accuser was the villain of the piece and the rich white males she accused were innocent. The articles were politically correct but they failed utterly to get at the truth of the situation. Luckily some energetic blogging proved to be more adequate than the mainstream press in highlighting the injustice of the case.
