Press & Comments
Here’s what others are saying about Stinkyjournalism across the Internet.
"And in the finest tradition of blogs digging for the real story where the corporate media fears to tread, stinkyjournalism.org is making the same claim: That the giant pig photo we've all been marveling at over the past couple of days could end up being a fake."

"I found a really great source in Stinkyjournalism.org. The first two sentences in their About Us section says it best, “Not all journalism stinks. But there are times when reported “facts” smell fishy. Stinkyjournalism.org, therefore, offers a unique forum for citizens to publish research on errors they encounter in the media.” I think they did a really good job with this story."

"The fact-determined journalists behind the whole affair are from Stinky Journalism, who have apparently hired photo analysts to get to the bottom of it all and figure out the truth. God willing, they will. We're far too proud a nation to let a hoax like this left perpetrated."

"Stinkyjournalism specialises in exposing fetid news stories by major news outlets, using its version of citizen journalism . . . It is a fabulous move in the battle against mainstream press outlets that use the “he said, she said” journalism style that gives vital oxygen to mongrels like the Swift Boat gang . . . The site is part of the Art Science Research laboratory, which combines a standard journal - Astrobiology Magazine for NASA - with a non-conspiratorial history magazine focusing on September 11th, and a public affection for Marcel Duchamp. You can see why I was enchanted, even before I realised the logo contains a precessing bicycle wheel and the organisation was started by Rhonda Roland Shearer and, of all people, Stephen Jay Gould."

"StinkyJournalism.org is a website dedicated to rooting out news stories that stink . . . Stinkykid.com is hoping to exchange links with Stinkyjournalism.com at some date in the near future. Maybe even some brand of Stinky Alliance! After all, they’re dedicated to bringing the stinky news to people, and we’re dedicated to bringing news to stinky people."

"Okay, how come Barack Obama gets video tributes from pretty models slinking around proclaiming themselves Obama Girls and Fred Thompson gets ... two bare-chested guys in cowboy hats crooning his name? A be-hatted, short-shorted duet calling themselves the Thompson Twins have launched a parody campaign video . . . The video, produced by the watchdog site, Stinkyjournalism.org is less a slam at Thompson than at the media that knighted him one of the front-runners in the presidential race months before he even declared his candidacy."
-Jennifer Brooks, The Tennessean, October 2, 2007
"You have all this contradictory information of the same events. It's an oil spill that needs to be cleaned up. Procedures need to be put in place where errors can be corrected and people will be responsible for information they are putting out there. I can think of the errors like zombies. These errors live forever unless you shoot them in the head—that is, correct them. The problem with errors is they will be repeated and propagated and they are a danger. False information is dangerous and it's garbage and it needs to be cleaned up.
