Because I didn't see that in the WSJ correction, not retraction. So Paul Anger didn’t say newsrooms exist to “facilitate commerce”? Because I didn’t see that in the WSJ correction, not retraction.

Read and be enlightened. Guess none of you saw that the Wall Street Journal ran a correction on the story disputing all that Woodwards Friend has said. Read and be enlightened.

Despite their publisher, there are still great reporters and editors working there. Without a major daily, Detroit is doomed. Why the Free Press bashing?

Bill Shea has their letter to WSJ on his <a href="http://tinyurl.com/freepwsj" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Crains blog</a>. You can make up your own mind on the validity of the Freep's explanation. I found their response to be disingenuous but it's ultimately an academic question. How can anyone take a newspaper seriously after its editor says that newsrooms exist to facilitate commerce? The Free Press claims this was all a silly misunderstanding.

Second, can't wait til we find out how much money exchanged hands for those text messages. The freep sees your pay-to-play and raises you a Pulitzer. Incidentally, how long until angry old white Michigan Football guy is buying ad space opposite Rosenberg?

I've been so frustrated by their terrible coverage of DPSm, I've resorted to reading the News for DPS coverage. Mind you, they're no great shakes, but they're better. But then, if either paper had done their job, Bobb's discoveries and Bobb himself might just be old news. The Freep can claim credit for their Kilpatrick coverage. I'm curious how you account for that atypical public service? You can certainly continue doing what you do without the Freep.
