Categorical Aperitif

Those of you who have been following the work of the still-reporting member of Team Aluminum Tubes, Michael Gordon, via the redoubtable Glenn Greenwald and others: be sure not to miss his testy exchange with Amy Goodman back in March of 2006. To put it mildly, Gordon doesn't seem to have a lot of patience with the "alternative media"—or, hey, maybe he's just projecting:

AMY GOODMAN: Let me just ask something on that. Are you sorry you did the piece? Are you sorry that this piece --

MICHAEL GORDON: No, I'm not. I mean, what – I don't know if you understand how journalism works, but the way journalism works is you write what you know, and what you know at the time you try to convey as best you can, but then you don't stop reporting.

Nah, silly Amy Goodman knows nothing about how journalism works. Yeesh. Anyway, listen, watch, or read the whole thing if you're curious.
