Responsibility, not quite yet.
The Washington Post continues to stand behind George Will’s error-filled global warming denying column from a week ago. Fortunately for the world, Brad Johnson of The Wonk Room does what the editors at the Post refuse to do and drafts a thorough correction to Will’s column. Naturally we do not expect it to run in the Post any time soon.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of crap that established columnists are able to get published at high level national media outlets. There is no accountability and the tendency for major outlets to stand behind their figurehead columnists and reporters over the clearly documented facts or moral obligations for truthfulness is astounding.
