There are eight million stories in the Naked City (No Bullshit, Please)
I decided to answer Nicholas D. Kristof's question on Facebook.

Here's the Times story about Greg Mortenson and his schools. I find this whole issue heart-breaking. I've visited his schools and really admired the way they were set up. Greg does some great work, no question. But these allegations are very serious, and they need direct answers and better, detailed answers. Your thoughts?Some guy Frederick Lang commented. I get what he means but I do not agree. What I said:
I can't buy Frederick Lang's view, "This man may be flawed, but his vision certainly is an inspiration." If the guy is full of bullshit, no matter how good his goal is, he is still full of bullshit. Some guy hoodwinked Oprah, who peddled the bullshit unknowingly. How many newspapers have published incredible stories only to learn the reporter made up the people he interviewed? Bullshit artists have worked for the best of newspapers. Jayson Blair. Rick Bragg. Stephen Glass. Gerald Posner. Bullshit. Then you have the guys who get on network TV and pretend they have no political bias. Bullshit journalism is what counts as truth. "There are eight million stories in the Naked City..." and yet, these corrupt asses still make up their own.
