Something Is Rotten In Denmark: The A.P., NYTimes and MBA Love Triangle
- ilamont 18y agoI would hardly call Saul Hansell's NY Times commentary on the AP issue (see http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/16/the-ap-hot-news-and-hotheaded-blogs/ http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/16/the-ap-hot-news-and...) part of a "love triangle." It was an attempt to bring some balance and professionalism to the discussion. The NY Times writer actually brought up an interesting legal issue (the "Hot News" doctrine, which other observers subsequently dismantled in the AP/blog case) but what apparently angered Arrington was the NY Times mildly criticizing his anti-AP post, by suggesting it wasn't constructive.
- jacobbijani 18y agoSeems sort of strange to publish three articles about the AP after banning them entirely from your site. "So here’s our new policy on A.P. stories: they don’t exist." But you know, if they did...this is what they would be up to.

- okeumeni 18y agoI agree. You know bloggers without the real press are just rant machines.
