Romenesko Misc.
Chattanooga Times Free Press executive editor
Tom Griscom writes in a Friday editor's note about reporter
Lee Pitts arranging to have soldiers ask questions of Donald Rumsfeld: "Questions have been raised as to whether Mr. Pitts used the soldier or put words in his mouth. While Mr. Pitts states that he discussed the armor question with the soldiers, Spc. Wilson chose to ask the question." Griscom tells me that he received about 500 e-mails after Pitts' letter to colleagues was
posted on
ROMENESKO, then cut-and-pasted by the Drudge Report and other blogs. (Related stories from the
