well, it's the washington times....

curious that there is no brouhaha from the right about fact-checking and journalists' ethics over stuff like this when it involves a conservative rag, isnt it?

well maybe not: such critiques extended into the conservative press would cause real problems: better to restrict the question of ethics (journalistic and otherwise) to other positions.
they should be ethical.
we demonstrate our ethics by talking about how others should be ethical. that dispenses with the question of ethics.
apparently this is how the matter goes in that strange little world.
