CJR -- Now a Farce?

The standard-bearer in journalistic balance, The Columbia Journalism Review, greatly diminished its reputation with its recent article on the Rathergate fiasco. Corey Pein's article, "Blog-Gate," was a poorly researched hit-piece that tried to smear the bloggers who exposed CBS's forgeries and lies.

Now CJR Executive Editor Michael Hoyt has jumped in the fray, and taken the partisan, journalistically-challenged line as well, not only backing the ridiculous Pein article in a recent letter to The New York Post, but going so far as to continue to assert that CBS's discredited documents might be genuine! Little Green Footballs has the story here.
