Calame is starting to grow on me. MB reader Peter H. writes:

If you have not yet noticed it, check out Byron Calame’s web journal posting from yesterday. He mentions a forthcoming public letter from Gail Collins, highlights the mistake about the relationship between Michael Brown and Joe Allbaugh that has made numerous appearances in the op-ed pages of the NY Times, critiques Frank Rich for pasting a correction into the middle of a column, and he once again hits at Paul Krugman over the Florida recount error and his refusal to accurately correct the record. Taken with the fact that Calame is pushing for a better corrections policy, as well as enforcement of the current policy, this all seems as if Byron is willing to take his job fairly seriously.

Imagine — a public editor taking his job seriously. Maybe he’s making up for a slow start.
