Don't Make Me Laugh

The Washington Post's ombudswoman, Deborah Howell, addresses this morning the many complaints she's received regarding the bias that may or may not exist on the news pages of her paper (does anyone need her to address the obvious?) and concludes with this:

Editors have what they consider good reasons for their decisions and say that coverage can be judged only over time. But those explanations don't cut it with readers, and editors must be more vigilant to avoid undercutting the paper's credibility.

The paper's credibility. Ms. Howell has a future in comedy after her paper folds.
