Is "Media Credibility. Restored." an oxymoron, or a description of the impossible? One thing it is: the slogan for NewsCred, a new (currently invite-only) service that will tell you how credible a news source (even a blog!) is based on user reviews. [TC] As you might imagine, this type of come-on is rife with problems, such as: What makes a news source credible?; Does credibility refer to bias? inaccurate information? spelling errors?; etc. And also, who's kidding themselves that this won't just be an excuse for lefty liberals to bash Fox News and righty conservatives to bash the Times? [BM] Sounds like a worthwhile use of time, debate skills.
