Bad Journalism Round Up

Entry One:
The Planet Money Guys managed to pick a fight with Congressional Bailout Monitor and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren. They then took the interview and spliced it down so they could focus on the segments where she shrieked at dumbass correspondent Adam Davidson the loudest. They then wrapped it in a nice bow by goofing on her for ten minutes while not explaining her position while Alex Blumberg giggled approvingly. After a week's worth of listener revolt they finally put up the full interview here and asked to be left alone.

Way to make yourselves part of the story guys...The Giant Pool of Money was great but clearly you are getting too big for your britches. Go away please, we're done with you.

Entry Two:
The NY Times is still getting it blog legs under them it seems. They totally misread Jimmy Kimmel's routine at the ABC TV Upfronts as awkward and poorly received to the point where they were wondering if Jimmy was getting canned. They were the first on this story, unfortunately no one joined them. Especially after everyone remembered that Jimmy predicted the firing of the TV head at his first appearance in 2002. Jimmy bit back through proxies (Bill Simmons on Twitter and in his mailbag) and everyone had a good laugh about how off base the NY Times was.
