Is Hearst Newspaper Editor Tom Baden Crazy....
The Connecticut Post Has Only Its Credibility And Reputation To Rely On.
Connecticut Post Political Writer Jonathan Kantrowitz has updated his blog page, now that he has been exposed for plagiarizing from one of Jim Himes' fundraising emails.
PLEASE SEE:
http://greenwichroundup.blogspot.com/2010/08/081110-day-after-his-primary-victory.html
Now, The hopelessly biased and unethical Kantrowitz put the following above the plagiarized campaign material:
"From the Himes campaign information I think it's important to know"
Kantrowitz's added sentence was so hastily written, that it lacked proper punctuation and structure.
In fact there is no indication to the Connecticut Post reader that the web page was updated or corrected.
Hearst newspaper readers are entitled to know when and why corrections are made at the Connecticut Post.
What Jonathan Kantrowitz should have written was ....
Dear Valued Reader,
I took the information bellow from one of Congressman Jim Himes' fundraising emails and failed to tell you that it was written by Jim Himes campaign manager Mark Henson.
The fact is that I plagiarized from this political fundraising email.
It was wrong and I am deeply sorry for what I have done to you the Connecticut Post reader.
Please rest assured that I have learned my lesson and will from now on up hold journalistic ethics and standards.
Further, I would like to apologize to my fellow Hearst Newspaper editors, columnists and reporters who have been stained by my plagerism of Jim Himes' fundraising email.
It was wrong and I am deeply soory and you can rest assured that it will never happen again.
Connecticut Post Editor Tom Baden has thrown truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability out the window.
