National Public Radio recently devoted a segment to the "Great Schlep," an idea put forth by comedian Sarah Silverman, the entertainer who makes safely racist comments about Asians and puts a lite, fun spin on the Holocaust, that Jewish grandkids should bribe their retiree grandparents in Florida into voting for Obama by making an extra visit to see them. All good so far, except that when NPR did its segment, following one of these Jewish grandkids on his "Great Schlep," they failed to correct, via a simple comment after the piece, the misinformation the kid gave his grandparents. He implied that McCain had obstructed the bailout when, he said, there should have been no argument about the bailout. Well, in fact there was no argument about the bailout. McCain was there front and center begging his fellow Republicans to pass the bailout bill and he and Obama agreed completely that a bailout was needed. I am not accustomed to NPR allowing its interviewees to put out misinformation without bothering to note the problem. A basic cannon of good journalism is not to allow misinformation to stand. Yet, NPR ducked the rules of journalistic integrity for this warm and fuzzy piece on Obama. Their reporters are quite savvy. He had to know the kid was wrong. But he didn't say bubkes to correct the falacy. What gives?
