CONFESSORE ON BROOKS: Nicholas Confessore at Tapped also applauds the tightening of the "very loose corrections policy" of The New York Times:
In any case, the person who I think will be most affected by this new policy is Times columnist David Brooks. It is both with great pleasure and great sour grapes that I point you towards this piece by Sasha Issenberg in Philadelphia magazine. Sour grapes because yours truly has for months been planning exactly such an investigation of the Brooks oeuvre, and in fact had planned to publish it pretty soon. Great pleasure because when another journalist scoops you, you at least want them to do the topic justice, and Issenberg did a helluva job -- he fact-checked many of the Brooksian generalizations that had also caught my eye during the past couple of years and, as a bonus, backed Brooks himself into a hilariously self-serving and unconvincing defense of his bad journalism.
