Charles- Is there any firm evidence to indicate the hidden or artificially raised scores were minority students/Posse or otherwise? Or is this just speculation?

Your hypothesis is certainly possible, but I hate headlines like yours because it raises the specte of something that might be true, but only provides possible motive, not proof.

It's clear she/they were hiding the decline, but was the decline specifically the result of manipulating minority scores?

Not sure I can agree on this one. I get that publishing on Christmas won't get the story attention, but who are you blaming specifically?

Joe Stephens and Carol D. Leonnig wrote the piece. They did their job, right?

Are you accusing the managing editors of publishing this at a bad time? They could have not published at all.

I'd have to know more about the track record of the people in charge before agreeing- here is an interesting article that suggests the WaPo is having managerial issues, though-

Read somewhere that Whole Foods was targeted for not letting its employees off to strike. Any verification? If so, some bag boy who was asking for the day off should be fired

Again. 55 and 113 Boston Heroin is a duplicate [113 is just a followup] and should not be 2 incidents. Okay to play rough, but should play fair.

Technically Boston #55 and #113 are the same incident. I'm sure more are coming, so there's no need to double count incidents and give critics ammo.

No reason for concern Ms. Murphy?

She writes "As a reporter covering the march, conducted by the Occupy Wall Street protesters, I was in position to get a close view of some events on the bridge as the arrests began" Clearly, she should have written, "As a protestor participating in the march."

Don't tell me there is no concern about her.... Oh yeah, and she clearly has an anti government agenda, so why have her do hard news on anything related to govt and class.

NPR (in LA at least) reported on this story and made a big deal about 3,000 people signing the petition in favor of Ernie and Bert getting married.

They made no mention of the hundreds of thousands who are outraged at such a stupid suggestion. This story is news because the idea of making plutonic puppets for 4 year olds getting gay married is offensive beyond belief.

I've seen a few twitter friends giving Tommy Christopher props for correcting the story after Larry O published the dishonest analysis.

Yes, he corrected the story, but compare his two stories on Mediate about this and see if the analysis is balanced.

"In a presidential campaign that has already seen more than its fair share of race-baiting, Gov. Perry’s remark was ill-advised, at best. If he didn’t choose those words carefully, then perhaps, going forward, he should." he writes in the first Perry piece.

The correction piece does nothing to chastise or accuse Ed Schultz and MSNBC of race baiting, however. It also does nothing to apologize for saying Perry's remark was ill-advised. There was NOTHING ill-advised about it. You were the one that was ill-advised, Tommy. Man up.
