Last week I reported that the Morning Call was taking back their story about the immigrant deported to Guatemala by ICE, bit by bit. They started doing this after a national columnist, who the Call themselves have used in the past, reported that the story was fake. The columnist, Jonathan Turley, wrote that newspapers can't resist overlooking usual verification when the subject matter is ICE, or other social justice issues...It's called advocacy journalism. In the current MC article, the paper simply states, The Morning Call has since unpublished those stories based on additional information that has come to light. While the original story was signed by reporter names, the current article is signed Morning Call staff.
Last week I got the following comment...Hey Mike if you ever need a break i started my own blog under Allentown Truth. While the blogger is anonymous, he uses the pseudonym Honest Abe. I always need, but never take a break. I have included Allentown Truth on the blog list located on the sidebar of my desktop version.
