로버트 Fisk: 당연히 bloggers는 이기고 있다
토요일, 2007년 7월 제 21
이 무기력한 종이는 도는 페이지 보다는 사람들이 더 Googling인지 왜 설명한다 나는 인터넷을 괄시한다. 혐오의 책임이 없고다, 수시로, 그물이다. 그리고 나는 Blogopops를 위한 시간을 없다. 그러나 점점 사람들이 Googling 보다는 오히려 도는 페이지인지 왜 설명하는 2송이의 무기력한 신문의 이야기는 여기에서 있다. 첫째로 로스앤젤레스 타임스. 작년에, 취재원 표 Arax 오토만 터키 어 권위에 의해 것의 1915년 몰살에 일상 이야기는 절반 아르메니아인 백만명 할당되고. Arax의 보고는 현지 유태인 지역 사회 정상 내의 사단에 몰살을 몰살이라고 칭하기 위하여 집중했다. 오래된 논쟁이다. 터키 사람은 주장한다 - 모든 사실 및 문서 및 목격자 보고 그리고 아르메니아인이 피해자 남북 전쟁의인 역사에 대하여. 이스라엘 정부 및 그것의 새로운 의, 노벨 입상 대통령 현대 터어키를 가진 아늑한 관계를 지키게 염려한 Shimon Peres - - 이스탄불의 사건의 허위 버전을 채택하는 것을 좋아하기 위하여. 그러나, 많은 유태인은, 이스라엘 안과 밖 모두 6백만명의 유태인의 최신 나치 대학살에, 용감하게 몰살을 창설한ㄴ다는 것을, 참으로 바로 선구자 주장했다. 그러나 Arax의 몰살 보고는 편집 주간의 더글러스 Frantz 순서에 취재원은 "문제점에 위치" 및 "이해 충돌" 있었기 때문에 부결되었다. 독자는 이미 Arax가 아르메니아 영어다는 것을 짐작할 것이다. 그의 죄악, 2005년에 저 방법 뒤에, 그 보이고, 이고 - "추정된 몰살 아닙니다" 아르메니아 몰살이 정당했던 불릴 것이었다는 것을 서류의 작풍 규칙이 의미했다 5명의 다른 작가는 그들을 생각나게 하는 LA 시간 편집자에 형식적인 메모를 썼다. Frantz는, 그러나, "청원"로 오래된 메모를 기술하고 지정 도착의 또한 아르메니아인인 워싱톤 편집자를 다루어서 명백하게 Arax를 고소했다. 이야기는 집중하고 그의 아르메니아 도살 인식에서 의회를 막는 터어키의 시도에 이야기가 표제 "확신한에서 멀리 몰살 해결책의 밑에" 아직도 달린 - 워싱톤 취재원에게 부유한 사이몬 재할당되었다. LA Times executives then went all coy, declining interviews, although Frantz admitted in a blog (of course) that he had “put a hold” on Arax’s story because of concerns that the reporter “had expressed personal views about the topic in a public (sic) manner…”. Ho ho. Truth can be dangerous for the LA Times. Even more so, it seems, when the managing editor himself - Frantz, no less - once worked for The New York Times, where he referred to the Armenian massacres as, yes, an “alleged” genocide. Frantz, it turns out, joined the LA Times as its Istanbul correspondent. Well, Arax has since left the LA Times after a settlement which forestalled a lawsuit against the paper for defamation and discrimination. His employers heaped praise upon his work while Frantz has just left the paper to become Middle East correspondent of the Wall Street Journal based in - of course, you guessed it - Istanbul. But now let’s go north of the border, to the Toronto Globe and Mail, which assigned columnist Jan Wong to investigate a college murder in Montreal last September. Wong is not a greatly loved reporter. A third-generation Canadian, she moved to China during Mao’s “cultural revolution” and, in her own words, “snitched on class enemies and did my best to be a good little Maoist.” She later wrote a “Lunch With” series for the Globe in which she acted all sympathetic to interviewee guests to catch them out. “When they relax, that’s when their guard is down,” she told a college newspaper. “It’s a trick, but it’s legit.” Yuk! Wong’s take on the Montreal Dawson College shooting, however, was more serious. She compared the killer to a half-Algerian Muslim who murdered 14 women in another Montreal college shooting in 1989 and to a Russian immigrant who killed four university colleagues in Montreal in 1992. “In all three cases,” she wrote, “the perpetrator was not ‘pure laine’, the argot for a ‘pure’ francophone. Elsewhere, to talk of racial purity is repugnant. Not in Quebec.” Painfully true, I’m afraid. Parisians, who speak real French, would never use such an expression - pure laine translates literally as “pure wool” but means “authentic” - but some Montrealers do. Wong, however, had touched a red hot electric wire in “multicultural” Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper complained. “Grossly irresponsible,” said the man who enthusiastically continued the policy of sending Canadian troops on their suicidal mission to Afghanistan. The French-Canadian newspaper Le Devoir - can you imagine a British paper selling a single copy if it called itself “Duty”? - published a cartoon of Wong with exaggerated Chinese slanted eyes. Definitely not pure laine for Le Devoir. The hate mail was even more to the point. Some contained excrement. But then the Globe and Mail ran for cover. Its editor-in-chief, Edward Greenspon, wrote a cowardly column in which he claimed that the offending paragraphs “should have been removed” from her story. “We regret that we allowed these words to get into a reported (sic) article,” he sniffled. There had been a breakdown in what he hilariously called “the editorial quality control process”. Now I happen to know a bit about the Globe’s “quality control process”. Some time ago, I discovered that the paper had reprinted an article of mine from The Independent about the Armenian genocide. But they had tampered with it, altering my word “genocide” to read “tragedy”. The Independent’s subscribers promise to make no changes to our reports. But when our syndication folk contacted the Globe, they discovered that the Canadian paper had simply stolen the article. They were made to pay a penalty fee. But as for the censorship of the word “genocide”, a female executive explained to The Independent that nothing could be done because the editor responsible had “since left the Globe and Mail”. It’s the same old story, isn’t it? Censor then whinge, then cut and run. No wonder the bloggers are winning.
