NYT Broadband Story: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies Make Bad Journalism

What a nice summary of how our "news" is created. Though we, the readers, are ultimately at fault because we search for the "news" that fits our viewpoint. I am not sure if we do this consciously or not, though I am sure that we do it!

Using "follow the money" as a critical thinking strategy when evaluating "news" is useful.

No where more evident than in the case of the NYT and a employee-reporter. When broadband is more convenient than the newsstand, well that is proving to be a money outflow problem for the NYT.
