  • What's With Big Media and Google?

    As I have observed, the Seattle Times would never have made the mistake of using the name "PoliBlog" had they just googled the word.

    Likewise, I figured out who Amy Richards was via Google not long after I read the her hideous tale in the NYT magazine. Yet it would appear that folks at the NYT don't know how to Google either.

    Perhaps it goes along with the Times moniker?

    Maybe they should get with the times?

    Apparently it's not just Google, but search technology in general.

    Indeed (on both counts)

    Here's an excerpt of an email I sent after receiving a dismissive reply from a certain "Reader's Rep." Can you figure out which paper it was?

    I realize the Internet is occasionally not a reliable source of information, but, as many people have said under similar circumstances, did you read the links?

    The first link I provided has a link to a RealAudio file of his quote (which is provided at the second link I provided). While arguably not admissible in court, it's good enough for a newspaper to consider it as a source.

    Furthermore, the links at the first link are to the following news sites:
    - San Bernardino Sun
    - Riverside (California) Press Enterprise
    - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
    and, finally, the Los Angeles Times.

    Everything after "I realize" in the above should have been in italics.
