That's the address for a July/August 2011 Columbia Journalism Review article about The Daily Caller. It's called "The Great Right Hype."
These are quotes from that article:
" 'Honestly, if you create a news organization whose primary objective is not to deliver accurate news, you will fail,' said Carlson in what sounded like the passing whoosh of a pointy dart, blogosphere-bound. 'The New York Times is a liberal paper, but it is also...a paper that actually cares about accuracy. Conservatives need to build institutions that mirror those institutions.'"
"But when the Daily Caller has reached for the big scoop, the results have been less impressive. Headline-grabbing exclusives--mostly intercepted e-mails and tweets and attacks on media rivals--have exploded across the web before fizzling under scrutiny. Sexed-up headlines burned above stories too twisted or bland to support them. Quotes were ripped out of context, corrections buried, and important disclosures dismissed. It's a picture that sits uncomfortably alongside the vision laid out by Carlson at CPAC, one that has drummed up clicks but little respect.
Ask Carlson himself if he's living up to the mission of a truth-seeking reporting house, and he gives a firm 'yes.' Plenty in Washington would disagree."
"...he almost named his site Punji Stick, after the sharpened bamboo spears the Viet Cong deployed in mantraps."
