Too early for flapjacks?

Why I read whom I read

Glenn Reynolds writes approvingly of a passage by Te-Nehisi Coates that includes this: "I don'’t think that you guys expect me to get it write right 100 percent of the time. I think you expect me to try very hard to be accurate, and immediately acknowledge when I'’ve failed to do so." With apologies to Coates, whom I read too infrequently to assess, I want more than that. Specifically, I also demand evenhandedness of error. What makes me avoid the New York Times and other leftist-media outlets, as well as most rightist media, isn't that they make mistakes but that those mistakes nearly always benefit their favored side. They're like referees whose calls help only one team. Yes, they also ignore their errors, but that's secondary. Their bias would render them untrustworthy even were they to note every mistake.
