Foer and a blogger's conflicts Posted: 2010-09-02 17:53:39 | (permalink) | (2 comments) I thought it was pretty obvious that journalists should not have conflicts of interests, real or perceived. This means avoiding some pretty common and, in most cases, pretty innocuous things. For example, I’m a register... read more -Josh Stewart Market House, uncorked Posted: 2010-08-18 15:50:36 | (permalink) | (3 comments) The Market House used to be a place where you could snag a sandwich and the catch of the day. But soon it may be a place to grab an adult beverage as well. Alderman Kenny Kirby, D-Ward 6, and other city officials said that Lehr Jackson, the ... read more -Josh Stewart Gulf spill hits City Dock Posted: 2010-08-18 11:27:44 | (permalink) | (0 comments) The effects of the BP Gulf oil spill have been felt in City Dock.

Thanks for pointing out Foer's ethical lapses. I have pointed them out, and also mentioned that journalism courses teach ethics (I also have a journalism degree) and he has basically responded by attacking me.
I think its clear that whether or not Mr. Foer has, or will, ever be instructed in the ethics of journalism, he doesn't care. As many others beside myself have commented, he believes he is always right.
I do hope the Capital polices him better, or even more laudable, demonstrates its ethics by ending his 'freelancing' arrangement. If nothing else, he's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

You have taught me a few things today that i thought were gone forever. You have taught me that there are people out there that do the right thing even if it is hard. Mr Foer in my eyes and from what i have seen in many others has lost all credibility and has thrown integrity out with the trash.
Thank you for standing up and doing the right thing.
Mr Foer needs to be let go from the capital payroll before he do's more damage to our local paper.
