Busy, busy, busy, and Dineen's folks are in town this weekend, so no time to play. But I did have time to read Cory's bashing of NPR's ridiculous quasi-justification for its new deep-linking ban. MY favorite part:
You are lying. There is no way that one could link to a stream of a fair and impartial newscast (links to streams must be to the whole stream, from beginning to end, remember) such that it can't be distinguished from advocacy or opinion. If there were NPR stories that were indistinguishable from advocacy, this indicates that the NPR stories were not impartial to begin with.
Of course, Cory begs the question: is there any reporting nowadays that is distinguishable from advocacy?
