Dan Froomkin's "White House Briefing" is highly opinionated and liberal, and Post print-section reporters are afraid that some readers think that Froomkin is a White House reporter, says Deborah Howell. National political editor John Harris tells her: "The title invites confusion. It dilutes our only asset -- our credibility." HOWELL'S OPINION: The website should remove the "White House Briefing" label from Froomkin's column. Here's the columnist's response. More editor/ombud columns:
