  • Begging for Integrity

    By Alex Kantrowitz June 16, 2008

    Every now and again I’ll have a difficult time understanding our media. Now, it’s not that the content is too esoteric, although sometimes it can reach over in that direction (I’m still astounded as to why a “fist bump” is worth half a mention in any medium with the gall to call itself a news source). It’s more that some decisions made by higher ups are so incredibly ludicrous I end up asking myself why I trust these people.

  • Libel, The Chronicle, and The Sun

    By Mike Wacker June 16, 2008

    Burnt by hot coffee? Don’t like what someone else what wrote about you? In America, we deal with these kinds of problems by sueing the pants off of the other party. However, while one woman sucessfully sued McDonalds because her coffee was too hot, a Cornell alumnus unsuccesfully sued Cornell University and its publication, the Cornell Chronicle, because it published an unflattering article about him.
