20 July 2011 - like an ass

Jay Scott : Daily Whale : archive : 2011 : 20 July 2011

Solid Reasoning, Right?

There are two ways to sound like an ass: You can bray, or you can accuse others of braying, like I do. I had hoped that Rupert Murdoch’s world domination train was derailed by the scandal, but I’m afraid that an ass as strong as the Wall Street Journal might be able to kick it back on track.

clue:

The Wall Street Journal is possibly the most respected of Murdoch’s news properties.

“In braying for politicians to take down Mr. Murdoch and News Corp., our media colleagues....” — unsigned opinion “News and Its Critics” in the Wall Street Journal, 18 July

This and another defensive opinion piece “News of the World vs. Wikileaks” by Bret Stephens on 19 July have left me thinking worse of the Journal’s integrity.

give me a clue so sweet and true
