Judgment Journalism

Friday, May 9th, 2008 By Mike Maurer

I couldn’t let this quote from Wellesley economist Chip Case slip by:

The government has got to do something.”

I remember as a student at Michigan that some group or another had a sit-in at the president’s office. They left when he promised, quote, to do something, end quote, about their issue.

This is poor journalism on NPR’s part. It’s one thing to assemble quotes, but they ought to be fair, in context and meaningful.
