Peninsula Press Club: Chron takes hits for protecting Balco source
Tim Rutten of the LA Times called the conduct of the two reporters "sleazy and contemptable." Rutten writes:
"There's more at stake here than just an abstract preoccupation with journalistic ethics or the trade-school mechanics of handling sourcing in news stories. Journalists consumed with a self-interest so strong that it makes them the willing dupes of manipulative sources report what they're meant to report and not the information the public has a right to know."
