Great Moments in Journalism: Tortoise, Report Us
Great Moments in Journalism are submitted by readers, and can be sent to this address. The polls have closed, and your winner is Carolyn See, for her bit of salad-dressing misdirection in a book review of a Joan Crawford bio. Carolyn receives a wire hanger for the honor. Today's Moment is sort of a cheap shot, since God knows it's hard enough to write supporting copy for a paragraph or two describing a photo that appears in Vogue. Still, give the Post's Marianne Garvey credit: It's not just any old hack who, upon looking at the picture of a scantily clad Renee Zellwegger petting a bunny, can churn out a lede like, "It's the gorgeous and the hare," which, even were it delivered in the slurred cadence of Dick Clark, would still not rhyme in any language. Good work. [The article doesn't appear to be online. Which is probably wise.]
