Our fearless leader wrote yesterday about the New York Times story of a blogger who died.http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/8/164419/0145/753/491469
I knew that blogger. Russell Shaw was a dedicated journalist, a good friend.
I was also interviewed by the Times for the story in question. Nothing I said made it into the final piece because, frankly, I disagreed with its premise.
Here's what I wrote at http://www.danablankenhorn.com/...
This wound up being the third story I had written about Russell since his death. To learn more about his last days, you may want to go here

My friend Russell was not an object to be made sport of by The New York Times in its vain attempt to maintain a monopoly on the idea of news. I am wondering now whether, should the Times call again on another story, I should bother cooperating.
