Juliet Eilperin flouts WashPost Ombudsman
Before we get to her latest effort, you may want to review our October 25, 2009 article that prompted Alexander’s wet noodle lashing of Eilperin. In that article, we pointed out that Eilperin is married to Center for American Progress senior fellow Andrew Light, who specializes in climate policy. Wouldn’t it be nice if every activist group could own (or be married to) a Post reporter?
...
Eight interviews. All advocates for greenhouse gas regulations. No scientists. No skeptics. Yet Eilperin asserts, touts and deceives readers in no uncertain terms that higher mileage standards will have “climate benefits” and “curb climate change.” Back in November 2009, then-Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander wrote:It’s a close call, but I think [Eilperin] should stay on the [climate] beat. With her work now getting special scrutiny, it will become clear if the conflict is real.Her conflict is crystal clear. The question is whether the Post will do anything about it.
You may want to ask the Post’s new ombudsman Philip Pexton yourself. E-mail him at ombudsman@washpost.com.
