A few weeks ago, I wrote a fairly hard-hitting column about a certain agency in the news. While more than a few readers called to say they thought the analysis was on target, the agency felt it was unfairly represented.
When an agency feels wronged, we eventually get asked the question that insults any reputable journalist: “What did we do to you to deserve that?” This accusation implies that there are motives other than delivering quality journalism–and that malice is part of the equation.
