We love a Radar hatchet job, especially when they're aimed at us in the form of email warfare, even after we help them with stories they're working on! But alas, it's not about us today, but about NYT media beater Bill Carter, who Radar henchman John Cook claims might be too close to his sources. Well, John doesn't claim it; critics do: "Now some critics wonder whether his close ties to networks make him the wrong guy to cover the cesspool that is show business."

From John Cook's hatchet job in Radar hatchet job (discussed here) on Adam Moss' New York magazine, an explanation from writer John Cook:

(Full disclosure: I once met with Moss to discuss potential employment at New York, I've pitched its editors and been rejected, the editor in chief of Radar used to work there, and my wife has written in its pages.)

That doesn't reek of "an agenda," does it?
