The Ignore-Navasky Watch (continued)

Once again, Fox News is the only mainstream media outlet covering a major media controversy. The last time it was the nauseating mess involving UN hacks Linda Fasulo, the paid-off author-NBC reporter, and Ian Williams, the fifth-rate hack and UN-consultant-correspondent.

Now Fox is out there alone on the secret control of Columbia Journalism Review by Ian Williams' boss, The Nation's publisher Victor Navasky. The CJR has been silent on the Williams mess and other issues surrounding UN journalists. What a coinky-dink!

Britt Hume last night had a segment on the controversy, according to the David M Blog. Why is the MSM avoiding this story? (As if we didn't know.)
