Page Six Plays Journalism Cop, Badly
Page Six didn't just rip off today's item about a supposed conflict of interest at The New York Times Book Review -- it ripped it off wrong.
"The Page" claims that Charles "Chip" McGrath, as editor of Book Review, transgressed by writing a "fawning" profile of Shalom Auslander; McGrath's daughter, Sarah McGrath, is executive editor at Riverhead Books, Auslander's publisher.
But McGrath isn't the editor of the Book Review, and hasn't been since March 2004, when he was replaced by Sam Tanenhaus.
What's more, Sarah McGrath isn't Auslander's editor. That would be Geoff Kloske -- or so I read on Galleycat last Thursday.
Ignoring the general ridiculousness of Page Six accusing anyone else of cozy favor-grubbing, you'd think doing the same story five days later would make Page Six more accurate, not less, wouldn't you?
