yes... better "quite a few times" than strings of rambling blogs otherwise NYT's reputation will take a dive. and yes of course journalists cannot get the whole picture but they do the best they can. It is understandably misleading but not as blatant as blogs.... just like in statistic or measurement - there is expected margin of error. That's why there are follow-ups and continued coverage... and we'll slowly learn the whole truth. You don't often see that in blogs (except reputable bloggers with humbleness)

Bloggers don't need to do the best they can. They merely voice their opinion based on what they read or heard and stick with it without listening to other side.
