Critiquing the News

   In pre-blogging days, I used to spend most of my Sunday mornings
   e-mailing reporters and editors, pointing out errors and discrepancies
   when they occurred in their reporting. I got positive replies just
   often enough to be encouraged that not all reporters were completely
   willing to believe the nonsense so often dished out by those with a
   radical feminist agenda.

   Once I started blogging, the time for that particular exercise
   dwindled to almost nothing. Right now, even blogging has had to take a
   back seat to other concerns.

   So I was really excited when I heard about [1]Newstrust, which really
   looks like a good step in the right direction for things like accuracy
   and fact.

   Not only have they [2]taken steps to get a variety of viewpoints
   represented, they've actually responded to my suggestion that if
   they're going to have a women's issues section, then it's only fair to
   also have a men's issues section. (My alternate suggestion was that
   they eliminate the women's issues section, because after all, most of
   the so-called "women's issues" are a lot less exclusive than that.)

   I'm told they expect to have a section for men's issues stories
   sometime next week.

   I can hardly wait until I get a day off so I can really look around
   some more!

   J.D. Lasica has some video [3]here about how the site works. I don't
   think you still need an invite to join, but if you do, shoot me an
   e-mail (twschuettATpeoplepcDOTcom) and I'll invite.
