The author does not mention reading the comments to the editorials.

Interestingly, most regular readers and commenters of the NY Times do not drink the Kool-Aid. Krugman probably has the biggest fan club, but at least half the comments say he is an idiot and don’t know what he is talking about. For Blow, Kristoff, and Friedman, it is more like 75%. It must be discouraging for liberals if their core audience no longer supports them.

it is also the paper of record

Nonsense!

[Michael.SF.]

From the piece: I respect the fact you got a Nobel

Why? There really is no reason to do so anymore.

The only news from the NYT I care about:

1) how much their ad revenue is shrinking
2) how much their subscription base is shrinking
3) how much their workforce is shrinking

the paper of record?

The paper of broken record is more like it.

Brooks is PBS' idea of "balance."

[Charles Blow also has one column that he writes over and over: Life Is Unfair For Black People in America.]

It doesn’t matter what Blow writes in The Times. He is the paper’s token African American columnist. A computer couldn’t produce more predictable “insights.”

I have been a loyal reader of the New York Times for decades, and I rely upon The Grey Lady for the news. Although it is the flagship paper of American Liberalism, it is also the paper of record, and at least in their international reporting their reporters usually get the facts straight.

On General Principle, one does not give financial support to deadly and murderous enemies. I don't care HOW occasionally a reporter reports an international fact. They are the enemy. Period.
