Howard Kurtz's conflict of interest gets more glaring by the day Written by Jamison Foser Published 07/27/09 11:03 AM EDT Howard Kurtz's “Media Notes” column today: 2,500 words -- none of them about CNN president Jonathan Klein's endorsement of Lou Dobbs birtherism. Why would the Washington Post employ a media critic who refuses to criticize the president of a company that pays him on the side? UPDATE: Kurtz just finished his weekly "online discussion" for the Post, during which he didn't take any questions about Klein or Dobbs.
