:: Thursday, June 05, 2003 :: This is a stinging indictment of US news outlets.Narco News: NYT Stringer Blows Whistle on Unethical LatAm Coveragethe New York Times and other large media institutions simulate their "news" coverage from the region with "parachutists" - the "official" correspondents (desk reporters) who drop into Latin America's cities and towns briefly to be able to claim they "reported" the story from there, when all they do is mangle the good work of "stringers" - journalists who actually live in these countries - by rearranging the facts to place a US Embassy-spoon-fed-spin on the stories they take false credit for reporting.
