Ron Jackson Comments on Shoddy New York Times Journalism

Per my post on the lopsided New York Times story about Marchex and domain names:

"Quite right frank - this is simply shoddy and dishonest journalism and something that no self-respecting media outlet should tolerate - especially one that has had a reputation for accuracy like the NY Times. Letting reporters color news pieces with their own biases used to be a no no. But today newspaper editors and reporters are being laid off left and right as their branch of media continues to wither and die on the vine. I guess it is not surprising that those very scared people continually lash out at the force that is on the way to putting them out of business - but whatever the excuse - it is still simply bad journalism and in the end that will come back to bite them in the [caboose]."

I can only hope Ron. If anyone deserves a good bite in the posterior it's the author of that piece.

A right-on read Ron except for the allusion of the N Y Times having a reputation for accuracy. Maybe many years ago.

This is (false) link-baiting at its best. With declining readership and business, who can blame them?
