It will be interesting to see if those same bloggers are as quick to offer Ms. Carroll an apology. Don’t bet on it – because they would then have to admit that they jumped the gun and reported on a story without first getting all the facts. But you w…

If we end up being wrong about Jill Carroll, I’ll be happy to personally call Jill Carroll and her family and apologise to her. I’ll even make a podcast of it.
I have no problems with being wrong. In some ways I LIKE to be wrong about this …

It’s astonishing how quick some bloggers are to cast aspersions.

It is the negative side of blogging, no question. Going off half-cocked I mean.

We are finding out that indeed Jill Carroll was under duress both during her statements after her release and in a video taped just BEFORE her release by her captors. I accept the explanation of events. And to the name calling lefty who called me on …

By Debbie Schlussel Here’s a note to all of you bloggers–especially the suddenly blind conservative ones–who want Jill Carroll to be what she is not. Please read it VERY CAREFULLY and S-L-O-W-L-Y, as some of you seem to have reading…

I’ve been meaning to touch on this for a while: why are Debbie Schlussel’s columns so full of venom and bile? Is there some open slot for a female Michael Savage she’s auditioning for, or she actually a basilisk with…

Considering what’s finally coming out, I’m glad I held off posting anything about Jill Carroll. It’s very tempting in the blogosphere to be first on the spot with the outrage, and I’ve erred on both sides — both posting a…
