As I suspected, the fine
Times public editor (who I interviewed for a profile in
The Nation awhile back) Margaret Sullivan
has come through with a post criticizing the paper for its Michael Hastings obit this week. His widow had protested to top editors, in vain, then took her case to Sullivan. Along with many others, I
pushed for this online. Excerpt: ["T]he Pentagon references, suggesting a debunking of the
Rolling Stone
article’s conclusions, got more space than what many consider to be
essential information about Mr. Hastings: that he was a fearless
disturber of the peace who believed not in playing along with those in
power, but in radical truth-telling."
