The first rule of being a journalist is don't tattle on other journalists.
Paul Krugman just broke the rule. Good for him.
The traditional press is an undemocratic institution, so the least pundits and reporters owe the public in a democracy is some goddamn honesty. Not merely looking out for our own hides.

Nonpartisan AEI
I have a lot of problems with this Kit Seelye piece. It’s kind of weird that the usual “both sides may have a point” reporting gave way to a clear declaration that one side is right — precisely on an issue where many, many health experts believe that Obama is wrong, and that mandates are both feasible and essential. Much better coverage of the issue, I’m sorry to say, in the Murdoch news.
But this takes the cake:
Joseph Antos, a health policy expert at the American Enterprise Institute, a nonpartisan group.
Is it really possible for a veteran reporter to believe that AEI is nonpartisan? Not even a qualifier, like “right-leaning” or “free-market-oriented”?
