With all the excitement about the Lamont v WATB debate today I didn't want
this latest Traditional Media attack on the lefty blogs, coutesy of the
Boston Globe, and Steve Gilliards
response to it to go unnoticed. Apologies if somebody already covered this today, I scrolled the recent diaries but saw nothing about it.
I won't bother with exerpts from the Globe hit piece, suffice to say it's the now typical attack in the Zengerle/Brooks mold.
Gilliards
response is withering and I highly reccomend reading it. Excerpt:
OK, let's cut the shit.
First,Zengerle used stolen e-mails to base a series of innaccurate posts where he did zero reporting. He interviewed no one involved and did nothing to check the accuracy of what he posted.
Second, he acknowlegded that he printed an e-mail which was false and claimed to be from me. He wrote the most churlish apology possible and left it at that, despite the clear ethical laspe.
But what really bothers me about this latest bit of hackery in the Globe is that Gyrnbaum doesn't even mention that Zengerle used a fake (fabricated?) email, supposedly from Gilliard to support his bogus argument.
Read both pieces and show the Globe some of our patented Rabid-Lamb love. Contact info below. (courtesy of Gilliard commenter Pheonix Woman)
