- Great interview, tough questions.
- Loved listening to this piece, especially the audio of the contrasting musical styles. Thank you!
- Here's a question for those commenters who would fire the photoshopping photographer. What do you make of the Mike Wallace interview, in which the softball questions are left on the cutting room floor?
Editing to tell the truth is good; it's telling lies that's wrong. That should be the standard.
- LOVED learning about the Maysles connection! Wife and I are huge fans.
- Wow, thank you for putting that pedantic phrase to music!
- To Simon Ritt: the paper does in fact try account the for issues you raise, in part by estimating both the number of votes gained and lost due to race.

- Phenomenal interview. I don't think I understood the phone hacking scandal until now. Journalism really is doomed.
- Really loved this story and laughed out loud when I heard this line about online media: "the dividing line between editorial and advertising is less firewall than shower curtain."
The story struck a chord with me because I'm taking a digital journalism class and have been thinking about the viability of hard news online. When you start look at successful digital publishers like Gawker, it's obvious that much less attention is paid to ethics and independence than the hard news outlets. I don't think it *has* to be this way, and I think Wikileaks is an early indicator that it won't be this way for much longer, but at the moment, the public still gets hard news from print and television, and goes to the internet to satisfy niche interests.
- Thanks for turning me onto that Brainiac song!
