"Poor information"? That's a bizarre accusation considering that the primary source of information for my original blog post was...Harold Jackson. Thanks to my communication with Harold, I was able to report accurately that Yoo had been offered a contract in 2008 (He told me "late last year," although he later told the New York Times more specifically October). My piece also reported factually that a) there was no formal announcement of Yoo's column either by way of a press release or a standalone article, as had been the case with several other high-profile columnists and b) I, and others I spoke with who work at either the Daily News or Inquirer, were not aware that Yoo was a regular monthly columnist. I didn't make any kind of broader accusation along those lines -- frankly that whole section of my original post was not even that central to the post, but merely to explain why I (and some other bloggers) were speaking aggressively about Yoo now, several months into his contract. (Ironically, it wasn't me or one of "those bloggers" who made a big deal about a possible disclosure issue, but a reporter for the New York Times. I'm sure we'll all discuss it at our next "blogger ethics panel.") I do still find it odd, however, that the bio line at the end of Yoo's columns doesn't mention that he worked for the Bush Justice Department, his main "qualification," -- but Harold didn't address that.
