 Gaffes and Gullibility: NY Times Gets it Wrong - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
If Walter Lippman, perhaps the most influential US press critic and foreign-policy columnist of the 20th century, were alive today, chances are he would shake his head knowingly and mutter something like, "The more things change, the more they remain the same."
After all, it was in 1920 that he and a colleague, Charles Merz, wrote in their analysis of New York Times coverage of the Bolshevik Revolution between 1917 and 1920 that the newspaper's reporting on Russia during that period was "nothing short of a disaster".
That subjectivity led directly to the second problem, the one seized on by Jackson and Massing in their analyses: "boundless credulity and an untiring readiness to be gulled" by sources who shared journalists' hope and fear.

Long ago, Walter Lippman called for a reform in journalism and the creation of a new means of disciplined, scientific investigation of the public world.
Lippman believed the press owed the public, above all else, a “steady stream of trustworthy and relevant news.
Lippman, at least none that have been out of the college for a while, is debatable, but the crisis he decried still exists and the credibility of journalism today rests as much on unknown or unverifiable sources as any “scientific virtues.”
