Michael Sokolove was
turned off by
Jim VandeHei's comments in today's New York Observer and now wants to see him fail. The departing Washington Post newsman responds: "I should choose my words more carefully. Our goal is to be as good, and one day better, than the Washington Post and New York Times when it comes to covering two things: presidential politics and Congress. We will begin at a severe disadvantage: both papers have larger staffs and powerful brand names. We will be the underdog." ||
JAY ROSEN: "Their dream is the same dream every generation of mainstream political reporters has had: to pull back the curtain and show how things really work in this town."
