Blake Ross:

Doubt the media. Always doubt the media.

Ursula K. Le Guin:

Most publishers have very few qualms. And corporate publishers these days have no qualms -- they don't know what a qualm is. They wouldn't know it if it hit them in the face.

Bo Olson:

Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk.

Jay Carney:

Here's what the story didn't tell you about Mr. Olson: his brief tenure at Amazon ended after an investigation revealed he had attempted to defraud vendors and conceal it by falsifying business records. When confronted with the evidence, he admitted it and resigned immediately.

The next time you see a sensationalistic quote in the Times like "nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk", you might wonder whether there's a crucial piece of context or backstory missing  --  like admission of fraud -- and whether the Times somehow decided it just wasn't important to check.

Dean Baquet:

[Bo Olson's] one quote in the story was consistent with those of other current and former employees. Several other people in other divisions also described people crying publicly in very similar terms.
