Apparently this posting on the Canadian Association of Journalists list-serv has prompted more attention than it likely deserves. I’ve been ignoring it, chalking it up to too many people with too much time on their hands over-analyzing and over-parsing the last paragraph in particular, but it was suggested we throw it out for you all to comment on, too:
