PROF. JOSEPH CAMPBELL: No ‘rock-em,’ no ‘sock-em’: What ails WaPo. “The ombudsman of the Washington Post, Patrick Pexton, weighs in today with platitudes and hang-wringing about the newspaper. He mostly misses the mark. . . . In his five or so months as ombudsman, Pexton hasn’t dared touch the electrified third rail about the Post, which one of his predecessors, Deborah Howell, gamely if belatedly addressed. That’s a decided lack of intellectual diversity in the Post’s newsroom.”
