What he had them saying wasn't damaging or grossly misprepresentative, mind. It just seemed that he had been paraphrasing email sent to others, which had leakily ended up forwarded to his inbox. Putting that in quotes without mentioning where the "quote" was from was slop, and led me to doubt his accuracy on other matters. Of course, it could have been an editor on a cutting spree responsible for converting an acknowledged paraphrase into a "quote."<BR/><BR/>So, given his useful and apparently accurate coverage recently, I'm going to have to remove him from the Geraldo category, and perhaps even call him a Journalist. <grin>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
