@High1and3r @mtaibbi I'm not defending her conduct with respect to @mtaibbi. She was wrong & should own up to it. Nevertheless, I do think, overall, she's a good journalist.

@mtaibbi Trustworthiness is the coin of the media realm. It's earned with forthright mea culpas. Bias has no weight when disclosed
