The Times Gets Desperate

Clearly the New York Times is getting desperate for competent personnel to cover Katrina.

According to the credit line at the bottom of a piece that ran yesterday, the Times dispatched blog thief Ken Belson to report from Mississippi. Belson was the fellow who ripped off this blog back in July. Backed up by the Empty Suit, in one of the earliest indications that the latter was making a mockery of the position of "public editor," the Times arrogantly refused to run a correction.

Watch out, Deep South bloggers! Ken Belson is on the loose.
