They say that karma is a bitch....

   ....and in the case of Greg Mitchell, that's [1]especially true. Greg
   Mitchell, in case you don't know, is the editor of Editor & Publisher.
   He's decidedly liberal, stridently so and constantly [2]lobbies for
   the press to be harder on the President and his administration, often
   beating the anti-war and the "this is Vietnam" drum.
   The recent exposures of [3]photographic malfeasance and [4]false
   stories in Lebanon had Greg so upset that he twice wrote about it,
   calling the internet claims [5]"wacky conspiracy theories".
   Now Mr. Mitchell has been found guilty of the very thing he claims the
   media never does -- faking news. In a 2003 article for E & P, Mitchell
   [6]admitted to a faux pas when he was a young, 19 year-old-intern.
   What's even worse, however, Mitchell [7]altered the lede in the story,
   when it came to light recently, in order to lessen the impact of his
   unethical conduct.
   For that ethical lapse, Mitchell got the full internet treatment,
   exposing the fact that his altered lede was a lie and proving once and
   for all, journalists simply don't get it. The days of lying are over.
   You will be exposed, including your, as Mitchell likes to call it,
   "exquisite hypocrisy".
