The Crank had a provocative post back on April 27 regarding Ashleigh Banfield's comments about the media's coverage of the war. The NY Times provides an update here about her now-struggling career (registration required). In typical Times fashion, however, their references to her April 25 speech are entirely slanted. "Angered top NBC management April 25 by giving a speech it believed was critical of its war coverage"?? Is it even possible to interpret her comments any other way? Moreover, the representative quote used by the Times article is probably the most vanilla statement in Banfield's entire speech. Go back to The Crank's post to see just a sampling of quotes the Times could have used in order to give their readers a better sense of her statements and the problems they caused for NBC management. Clearly, this is an individual who was rushed to the big leagues too quickly.
