Marc Masferrer, editor of the Lufkin Daily News in East Texas, will no longer let Maureen Dowd or the New York Times sully his paper?s reputation.

The New York Times' considerable credibility problem is now our problem, as well.

But unlike the Times, which has been engaged in a torturous exercise of naval gazing and self-flagellation, with its accustomed arrogance, since it was revealed that one of its younger reporters had committed all sorts of journalistic sins, we are doing something about it, and fast.

Until she explains to our satisfaction her own ethical transgression ? an apparently deliberate distortion of a comment by President Bush ? you will not find the work of Times columnist Maureen Dowd on this page.
