An e-mailer notes:

Katherine Seeyle of the New York Times wrote of Kurtz’s potential
conflicts by working for CNN and the Washington Post and commenting
about one employer via the other. Interesting that she quoted two
Slate.com writers without identifying that Slate.com itself is a
Washington Post company (Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive Co. LLC)

I officiallly hand the topic over to the Media Blog.
