    Hilariously, MSNBC.com currently has the Gregory-to-MTP story on its site... the AP story. Guess those network execs will talk to AP, but not their own reporters.

    You remember the kids game where we were all in a circle? No, not that one, the earlier version, where a secret was whispered and it became multiple-sourced around the horn. There was a great digression from the first to the last repeating, but it didn't really matter, because nary a version from first to last was true!

    I was raised in a small town out on the lonesome prairie where gossip was a much better source of news than the local paper, hands down. Like, the grocer who delivered and took longer at some houses than others? You think the Daily Favorite printed that? You think we didn't know it anyway?


    Besides, all art, beit Grand Opera, fiction, or pop music, is gossip. It tells stories, and not all of them are true neither. Like old man Clayton always said, "If the narrative flows, that's all anybody ever knows!"

    But everything is new and different now! Online "news" outlets are not all as professional as we are around here.


    The point is you guys don't pretend to be and thus you are, whereas they pretend to be and thus are not.


    But now that you mention it, it reminds me: Remember when Jimmy Kimmel condescendingly castigated Gawker for having no journalistic integrity. That shit was hilarious! ("Visibly intoxicated!!!")


    Since he has positioned himself as the guardian of journalistic ethics, I wonder whether he is going to take Judith Miller to task?

    Dick Cheney pulled this shit on Meet the Press. Leak anonymously to the NYT there are WMDs in Iraq, then point to the NYT that because they printed it, it must be true.

    I come here for unverified rumors about celebutards I've never heard of and long, opinionated rants, not this "hard news" stuff. But, heck, someone has to teach tomorrow's journalists and it doesn't really look like the J-schools are doing that so much. Servicey delicious.

    Off the record, on deep background, this can't have come from me, I'm dead if you tell them this came from me, not for attribution, use "source" if you to but my name cannot be anywhere on this thing, if I tell you this will you sleep with me?

    Chuck Todd, if he wants it, is the best choice. But who knows if the suits want him.
