This from a panel of today’s Tom Tomorrow strip<\/a>, titled “Too Much Crazy,” depicting New York Times<\/i> Public Editor Clark Hoyt “as a weasel”…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Much more crazy in the full strip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The quote in the above panel is taken from the mindblowing emails Hoyt sent to me<\/a> recently, as one of his reasons for not<\/i> recommending the “paper of record” issue retractions for their repeatedly inaccurate<\/a> and misreported<\/a> coverage of the James O’Keefe\/Andrew Breitbart ACORN video “pimp” hoax, as The BRAD BLOG<\/a> has now been covering for weeks.<\/p>\n

In addition to the absurd justifications that Hoyt (who can be emailed at Public@NYTimes.com<\/a>) offered for refusing to responsibly recommend corrections, the paper’s Senior Editor for Standards, Greg Brock, offered equally absurd reasons for standing by their reporting earlier, including O’Keefe’s appearance on Fox News, “wearing what HE said was the same exact costume he wore to ACORN’s offices.”<\/p>\n

“If there is a correction to be made, it seems it would start with Mr. O’Keefe himself. We believe him,” Brock (who can be emailed at SeniorEditor@NYTimes.com<\/a>) incredibly asserted via emails we posted here<\/a>. “Therefore there is nothing for us to correct.”<\/p>\n
