MARK JUDGE: Former Washington Post editor Martin Baron’s dishonest and dishonorable new memoir.

I have written a lot about this subject — in fact, probably too much. It was a traumatizing episode, and it’s time to move on. Yet I was amazed at the lack of basic journalistic practice and any sense of honor in Baron’s account of an event in which I was involved. Thus my joke about the duel. If the executive editor of one of the country’s major newspapers pens a memoir detailing an event you were central to, and does not acknowledge the many times you have corrected the record about said event, what recourse is there? Sending Baron to take Journalism 101 at the local community college?

Exit quote: “Democracy dies in dishonor.”
