NBC coverage covers-up the havoc caused by an errant M&M balloon, during its Thanksgiving Day Parade coverage. Should the announcers have told it like it was or smiled through it as they did?

I think this article published on Editor & Publisher hits the nail on the head when talking about newspaper readership. I’m perplexed why no one has really brought this up before, because it seems so simple.

I read the newspaper on line every day. I can click between The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and my small hometown newspaper with ease. Online I can see how different papers are covering the same story.
