THE NYT AGAINST DRUG COMPANIES: No one who's been a sentient human being could have missed the campaign that the entire political left (which includes the New York Times) has been waging against pharmaceutical companies. I've no doubt that some of these companies deserve tough scrutiny. But I also have no doubt that when the history of this period is written, one of the biggest stories will be the revolution in pharmaceutical research that has transformed the lives of millions from sickness to health. In that light, check out the latest NYT screed, by the usually reliable (if reflexibly leftist) Robert Pear. Pear's story was about internal documents, discussing the industry's lobbying plans for the next year. What's striking is that nowhere in the piece is there a quote from the drug lobby explaining, defending or simply "no commenting" on the affair. None.
