A couple weeks ago, the Columbia Journalism Review defended the New York Times' coverage of the Dow Jones-Rupert Murdoch deal from the editorial writers at the Wall Street Journal, who alleged that the Times only had its own self-interest at heart: "I really object to the Journal's editorialists calling into question—by name—the motives behind The New York Times and The Financial Times for their coverage of the News Corp. story." But now people are saying that the NYT's Business section didn't have the purest of motives in its coverage—its editor is shopping a book about the deal itself.
