He doth protest a heckuva lot

Go listen to the latest On The Media to hear a mind-boggling interview with Cleveland Plain Dealer Editor Doug Clilfton about his decision not to publish two stories based on leaked government docs in the aftermath of the Judith Miller jailing (sorry but the link to the segment doesn’t work and transcripts aren’t up yet but it’s in the beginning of the MP3 atop this page). I wish I could quote and characterize it to give you a sense of what happens there but you have to listen because it’s just bizarre. Clifton snaps at interview Bob Garfield and at The New York Times for reasons that aren’t entirely clear.
