1. But Lyons is Media-In-Exile

As such, someone who is expected to do their job.

For a minute I thought you meant the Imperial Pravda Whores actually did their job instead of lazily floating in the oily wake left by the Party-Loyal Right-Wing Sub-Media.

Now THAT would have been surprising.

3. Didja read the article?

What Lyons said was that Knight-Ridder, NYT, WP, and much of the rest of the mainstream media took the trouble to get the story right on Clark's testimony.

Surprise!

4. nice dig on Airhead Paula Zzzzz

The brainchild of the renowned journalism school’s new dean, Nicholas Lemman, CJR’s new enterprise means to provide "real-time" media criticism putting the Paula Zahns of the world on notice. (On her CNN broadcast, Zahn treated the Drudge quotes as factual.) Next time, sweetheart, do your homework and get the facts. Your professional reputation may once again depend upon it.
