and speaking of ehics in journalism

the register has the audacity to come out and speak against newsweek as if they're the lone culprit in this matter.

The generally accepted ethics of journalism allow unidentified sources to be used only in extraordinary circumstances. That's what we practice at the Register, out here in the heartland. But information supplied "on background" by government officials has become a way of life in Washington, and the use of unidentified sources has become almost routine, with hardly a second thought.

how many times do you hear of bush fed stories that are linked to unidentified sources every day in the paper? it's done every fuckn day. and now the register wants to take newsweek to task for what everybody does????
