James O'Keefe Strips The New York Times Bare Naked, and It Ain't a Pretty Sight: "Rosen and Shirky also discuss how the Times helped the Occupy Wall Street movement and how the media could help defeat Perry and Bachmann, who they specifically tarred as "crazy".
Having been stripped bare by O'Keefe, the defenders of legacy media have circled the wagons, claiming Shirky was not a consultant to the Times (Rosen is a regular contributor).
Whether Shirky is a paid consultant or not, he is clearly influential by dint of the heavy references and links to his work in the Times. According to Google's search engine, he has been referenced by the Times more than 5,300 times with a copious numbers of links to his work.
On his blog, Rosen offers a rambling set of explanations for his obvious and dishonest bias masquerading as "journalism".
And how did Rosen publicly react to this particular instance of classic investigative journalism? As you might have expected: he called O'Keefe a terrorist.
Which is about how you'd figure someone who writes for the Times to spin being caught red-handed. And I do mean red.
Whatever these pencil-necked twits are teaching, it ain't journalism."
Go James. RTWT.
