Forget keeping em honest -- people will stop watching NY1 altogether if they find someone is doing it better for them. And that's as true unfortunately for people making their main sources of news FOX or TMZ as Veracifier or Gothamist. I just hope everyone keeps Bill's healthy spirit of critical thinking. They still teach that in schools, right? Thanks for the kind words, Bill and Bre. Bill, don’t you know that fire looks way better on TV? ;)

Nice work. This is *also* going to be the year for news reporting sources being kept honest (to whatever degree that's possible) because of citizen journalists filming the same video as the majors, but posting the actual video instead of sound bites edited specifically for spin. I videoblogged a plane crash in Manhattan, NYC over a year ago. The reason I went was that NY1 News was showing fire coming out of the windows of the apartment building that got hit. I got there, there was nothing but smoke. I stayed for an hour, nothing but smoke. Got back home, and NY1 was *STILL* showing a loop of fire coming out of the building I had just laid eyes on. That's when I realized that the fire had PROBABLY been out way before I started heading over there. :/ +1 .. Nice work.
