Fox News decks Howell Raines in a single sentence:
We find it ironic that Howell is dispensing advice to other journalists after he nearly single handedly destroyed the journalistic credibility of the New York Times.
And Steve Krakauer, of Mediaite, also needs only a single sentence to knock Raines right out of the ring.
But first, the setup. Krakauer quotes Raines:
As for Fox News, lots of people who know better are keeping quiet about what to call it. Its news operation can, in fact, be called many things, but reporters of my generation, with memories and keyboards, dare not call it journalism.
And then Krakauer klobbers him with these words:
This sort of across-the-board generalization about what ‘Fox News is’ makes journalistic presumptuousness even more prevalent than actual journalism.
Krakauer KO's Raines in a Howeller of a fight!
