Reuters fires author of anti-skank book
"Truth? We can't handle the truth!" says company spokesman.
On Tuesday, Joe Maguire handed his bosses the galleys of his new book, “Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter.” On Wednesday, Mr. Maguire discovered he would have plenty of free time to promote his book, which comes out this week. Neither side in this dispute would say that he was fired.- NY Times, via firedoglake, which adds
Reuters confirmed that Mr. Maguire was granted conditional approval to write his book on Ms. Coulter. When asked what changed once the book was ready, a company statement pointed to Reuters’ principles of “integrity, independence and freedom from bias.” The statement reads: “Our editorial policy and The Reuters Trust Principles are prominently displayed for all to see on www.about.reuters.com. Mr. Maguire’s book will soon be available. Both speak for themselves.”
So, let me see, according to Reuters, pointing out that Ann Coulter tells big whopping lies, doesn't get her facts straight, and just flat out talks nonsense, bunk and a whole lotta crapola is…bias. Good to know. I'll keep that in mind each and every time I see a Reuters by-line, so that I can keep a few grains of salt handy for the reading, since they appear to have a bias against honesty. Because if Reuters doesn't believe in pointing out factual inaccuracies of the wingnuts they interview, I think the public has a right to know that. Don't you?You bet your ass. Fucking SCLM.
