Irony from CJR

From a Columbia Journalism Review fund raising letter by executive editor Mike Hoyt:

Honest journalism is a beacon in a great fog of facts, and that beacon maybe more essential to America's future than in any time in her history. Yet honest journalism is in trouble.

... Honest journalism, in short, needs allies. With your help, Columbia Journalism Revew can be the kind of ally that makes a difference.

Ha. The irony is palpable.
