I hate it when the press and reporters grossly misrepresent the facts in order to create sensationalism. I had it happen to me when I was interviewed by Forbes.com in fact, and although I addressed my concerns to the editors of Forbes after reading the article, I was ignored. And if I had been replied to, and the errors corrected, would they have been corrected in the original article, or in a prominent location? No, of course not. Corrections go in a teeny tiny corner of the website or newspaper where no one will ever read them!

Armand Rousso is feeling my pain right now. He was profiled in a recent New York Times article by Saul Hansell, and the article had several omissions. You can read the Armand Rousso response to NYT story by Saul Hansell on Mr. Rousso’s blog, but I’m sure that like Forbes.com, the New York Times will not admit that they make a huge lapse in judgment by printing the article as it stands now.

Armand Rousso is upfront about his criminal record, and the New York Times feels that he can’t change, and lambasted him in this piece. I can only hope they make right by Armand Rousso.
