On November 24, after nine months of investigative work, the New York Times published a huge front page story raising questions about possible corruption and murder within the St. Johns County, FL Sheriff's department. Here's how the local paper there, the St. Augustine Record, responded:

BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski noted on Tuesday that The Daily Download, the obscure media-news website founded by Fox News anchor Howard Kurtz and his business partner Lauren Ashburn, has disappeared. Yet only a few months ago Ashburn was hyping the site’s traffic to contributors. “Lauren told me that at one point it had a half million views per day,” Lorraine Murphy, a Vancouver web consultant who wrote for the site between May and August of this year, told Gawker. So what happened?

For the crime of allegedly snapping a selfie in front of the Brooklyn Bridge around the same time that a suicidal man was threatening to jump off it, one anonymous woman landed both herself and her selfie on the cover — the cover — of today's New York Post.

Why are newspaper opinion columnists so consistently baffled by the politics, technologies, and social mores of the 21st century? We've crunched some data, and we think we've figured out the answer: They're old as hell.

Someone at the New York Times Style section should be fired for getting scooped on this "New hipsters fight old hipsters in Bushwick" story.

Here is a video of New Day host Chris Cuomo interviewing New York Governor (and older sibling) Andrew Cuomo on Monday morning about Albany’s response to the Bronx train derailment that killed four people over the weekend.

I achieved the near-impossible Monday morning, October 7, at approximately 9:30 am. I got fired from BuzzFeed.

Recently, coddled celeb Oprah Winfrey said that this great nation (America) still contains racism. Oh, poo! One post-racial colorblind white male Christian rock producer and USA Today columnist has something to say about that.

Today, the Wall Street Journal's editorial page decried the Democratic Senate's use of the "nuclear option" to end filibusters of presidential nominees, sniffing, "They view the minority as an inconvenience to be rolled." But... but you said before...

National Journal's Ron Fournier has smuggled a new dispatch through the censors posted around the Capital Beltway, describing the latest gross abuse of power by Maximum Leader Barack Obama: freezing out the photographic representatives of the free press in favor of "flooding the public with state-run media."

Erik Wemple documents in detail how Mike Allen, hoarder-in-chief at THE POLITICO, gives extremely favorable editorial coverage to companies that advertise in his "Playbook" newsletter. Mike Allen, hoarder/ whore-der.

Veteran reporter Michael Forsythe confirmed on Twitter that he has left Bloomberg News. Last week, the New York Post reported that Forsythe was fired for talking to the New York Times about a lengthy investigation into Chinese leaders. That story was killed because Bloomberg feared losing terminal sales in China.

So here’s a question for the Paper of Record: Can a reporter ethically accept a gift from a company he covers if the reporter gives it to a family member, or a friend? We ask because superstar tech reporter Nick Bilton admitted to doing so—or at least attempting to—on last week’s episode of Leo Laporte’s "This Week in Tech" podcast. Here’s what Bilton said:

John F. Kennedy. A man. A president. An American. He died a long time ago. Now, it is 50 years later. Do we still live in a magical time? Only Peggy Noonan has the words to capture this age of miracles.

Six weeks after CNBC's Maria Bartiromo scoffed at Alex Pareene for attempting to discuss JPMorgan's shady dealings in China, the New York Times again reports that U.S. officials are scrutinizing JPMorgan to ascertain "whether the bank swapped contracts and jobs for business deals with state-owned Chinese companies."

Yesterday, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote that "people with conventional views must repress a gag reflex" when thinking about interracial relationships. That got us wondering: What else does Cohen think might make people gag?

The New York Times has long been considered the top of the media food chain, the final stop in a journalism career. No mas. In recent weeks, the Times has been leaking talent left and right. Who do they have left that they really need to hang on to?

Cotton-topped ladies man Richard Cohen hilariously poses as a "liberal" columnist at the Washington Post, despite being... how can we put this gently... a power-worshiping bigot. Don't take our word for it. Please, read the paragraph he wrote today.
