STEVE SCHWENK responds to Daniel Okrent. Via a blog, natch.

UPDATE: Colby Cosh has no sympathy for Schwenk, writing, “It never ceases to amaze me when people send missives to newspapers and magazines and then are surprised when their words end up in print.” True enough. On the other hand, he makes an important point regarding Okrent’s column, too: “Okrent, buried under what is no doubt an avalanche of mostly unfounded accusations of bias, has reached the inevitable Ombudsmoment where he forgets that he is being paid to represent the readers to the paper rather than the other way around.”
