AMCGLTD, one of the mirror sites for the New York Times Columnist Correction Policy Project has a nice take on what’s happening…
AMCGLTD: Blogosphere to New York Times: DROP DEAD
The parallels between this event and those surrounding one Martin Luther are quite striking. Then, as now, a single individual posted a set of grievances against a powerful institution claiming rights to “the truth” in a public place. Then, as now, that institution used its size, power, and wealth in an attempt to muzzle this voice and destroy all evidence of the complaints. Then, as now, a new technology allowed copies of those complaints to be spread across the world literally faster than they could be destroyed (scattered on the wind like so many dandelion seeds).
Didn’t the Times learn anything from the Diebold debacle? After all, they wrote a column about it.
