Murray Chass Hates Blogs
Former New York Times writer Murray Chass recently accused former New York Met Mike Piazza of using steroids based on very flimsy evidence. He also, in his own words, “hates blogs.”
John Weisman of Dodger Thoughts, a very well respected blogger takes Chass to task.
Murray Chass is not only irresponsible but he’s also disingenuous. He claims to “hate blogs” because he claims they do exactly what he’s done here, which is spout off unsubstantiated claims.
Chass is ignorant, he assumes, incorrectly, that somehow being employed by a newspaper magically makes someone better equipped to deliver news and analysis of the same information we all now have access to.
Chass is a shining example that it doesn’t matter what medium you work in, there are folks who hold themselves to a high standard of journalism and there are those who do not.
