HIAWATHA BRAY continues to follow the Linda Foley story, which has Foley and the Newspaper Guild digging the hole deeper. Waiting out the news cycle isn’t really an option where the blogosphere is concerned, and squandering your public trust in a defensive crouch is never a good move.

If Foley keeps her job, but nobody trusts the journalism of Newspaper Guild members, that’s not a victory.

UPDATE: Trey Jackson suggests that this video will help keep things in context.
