• Mediaite’s list of 28 media leaders who died this decade includes no people of color, not even Michael Jackson

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 789
  This column was originally published by the St. Petersburg Times. We have asked permission to cross-post it here. Wish I could say this idea was mine. But I first heard about Mediaite columnist Danny Groner ’s list of 28 media leaders who died this decade from a friend who emailed an Internet listserv of ...

• A Glaring Omission

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 789
  Mediaite has been rightly called out for a big, glaring error: On our list of 28 media leaders we’ve lost this decade there was not a single person of color. Not a one. It’s an omission we are fixing even as I type this, but that’s not the point: the point is taking responsibility for it and holding it up as ...

• "In the Know": Better late than never on "Climategate"

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  The St. Petersburg Times finally ended its relative silence on Climategate.  On Dec. 5, the Times published most of a good account appearing in The Washington Post . Knowing that space considerations often affect how much of given story will appear in a newspaper, and being the busybody that I am, I located ...

• In the Know: Climategate fallout

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  The St. Petersburg Times updated its reporting on the Climategate scandal this week. The story again avoids the term "Climategate" and successfully avoids giving its readers much useful information about the scandal itself. The St. Petersburg Times ran a portion of a story from The New York Times . The former ...

• Giving themselves an F

  
  Regret the Error — Authority: 502
  Obviously our front page Monday did not make the honor roll. On a story about college degrees – of all things – we misspelled the word “tassels.”

• "Critics are taking them out of context"

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  The St. Petersburg Times has weighed in on Climategate, albeit without using the term "Climategate." A Friday editorial ("How not to fight climate of denial") chastises the Climate Research Unit for unnecessarily giving global warming skeptics ammunition. Assuming the documents are genuine — the authenticity of ...

• "In the Know": Climategate

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  James Delingpole has a humorous roundup of responses to Climategate, the set of embarrassing e-mails hacked from servers at East Anglias Climate Research Unit. None of the responses came from the St. Petersburg Times , however. Despite pages of "climategate" hits through GoogleNews , a search for the term at the ...

• Media bias or simply cluelessness?

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  The answer is probably both. But Ill report and you decide. The subject is an Associated Press story on Obama administration pushback on Republican claims that the Democratic health care reform bills do not slow the growth of health care costs. The headline: White House defends costs, cuts in health bill The ...

  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  I pointed out some time ago that PolitiFact had reported a figure for Obama stimulus package that was off by a factor of a billion. I subsequently pointed out the error at PolitiFacts FaceBook page . clipped from www.facebook.com Bryan White Rep. Young offered a fair paraphrase of Obama. The ...

• In the Know: Setting new standard for site search efficiency ...

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  I chided the St. Petersburg Times for editing out all of the specific details from its AP version of the Climatic Research Center e-mail hack story. It is a good thing I embedded the URL for that version of the story in an earlier post, or else I may never have found it again. I challenge anyone to find the ...

• Photos of women attacked and terrorized with acid

  
  Doobybrain.com — Authority: 635
  The St. Petersburg Times photoblog posted this graphic and powerful look at women in the Middle East attacked with acid. The photos are horrifying and it’s hard to imagine myself living in a world where this act exists as a very normal thing. It’s photos like this that make me realize that the world needs a lot ...

• Delgado Holds Key to Second Tier Plan

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  Reports are swirling about the Mets settling for second tier players . The ideal plan would be to sign Matt Holliday or Jason Bay, attempt to acquire Roy Halladay from Toronto, and then shore up the catching position, bullpen, and first base with second tier players. Any other big market team (see Yankees and Red ...

• NY Times Picks Up Our Scientology Mag Sale Story

  
  The Hollywood Reporter | Showbiz 411 — Authority: 139
  The New York Times’s Tim Arango must have liked our story from Friday morning about Scientology buying “Governing” magazine. He ran his own version on Sunday, but without any credit to this column for first exposing what was going on with the owner of Governing, The St. Petersburg Times.True enough, the St. ...

  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  Part of the "In the Know" series of posts. The political right of the blogosphere quickly developed an awareness of a story concerning hacked e-mails from a major global warming research center.

• "In the Know" in the Times

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  The St. Petersburg Times continues to use "In the Know" as part of its ad campaigns. They even use it as part of a little jingle: In the Know In the Times Whoa-o-o-o Woe, indeed. I have used "In the Know" as a tag for posts concerning Times coverage that is either AWOL or misleading.

• Thou shalt have abortion rights

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  Robyn Blumner calls herself an atheist. But I think shes religious. Her religion is reproductive self-determination. But not that heretic branch that claims that women have the right to have as many babies as they wish. Shes of the sect that holds the right to an abortion as sacrosanct. Which brings us to her ...

• Universal health care all about compassion?

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135
  I often see the argument that the universal, single-payer plan is all about compassion. So it was almost refreshing to see an editorial from the St. Petersburg Times that stepped far away from that position. The editorial, titled "Science, not emotion," discussed the new mammogram schedule recommended by the U.S. ...
