THIS is journalistic integrity?

Harry McCracken, he of the "I'll quit rather than compromise my integrity" scandal at PC World was evidently not talking about his right to run important stories that affect his readers.

Nor was he talking about the right to be able to criticize advertisers.

Evidently, that entire fight was to defend his right to publish poorly-written lamer "Top Ten", (or thirteen) lists ad nauseum.

Wow. Never let it be said that Harry won't defend his right to create tripe unto the ends of the earth. I wonder if he'll finally succeed in his quest to be president of the Dvorak fan club. Moron.
