Columnist thinks of Bradlee as he reads NYT's McCain story
Providence Journal
In "All the President's Men," Ben Bradlee scans a Woodward and Bernstein story and tells the reporters, "You haven't got it." They start to argue, but the Washington Post editor cuts them off. "Not good enough. Get some harder information next time." Mark Patinkin thought of that scene as he read the Times' McCain story. "What we journalists miss as we sit in the bleachers occasionally throwing stones at those in the arena is that people often hate us for it," he writes. "Fine, we're not here to be popular. But we are here to be right, our facts airtight, especially when the stakes are high."
