No "Yes but" on this one

So, the NYTimes is in trouble.
Tsk tsk.
It's a mildly good reportorial paper.
Judy Miller is a fine journalist, who knows what she is talking about.
The op-columnists are still tilted well to the Left. Paul Krugman, putatively an economist, writes about politics from a conspiratorial far-Left perspective. He knows even less about politics than about economics.
The addition of David Brooks and John Tierney is welcome. They are sort-of Neo-Cons, and are scrupulously fair.
But it is the editorial page that is main problem. It is mindlessly far Left. It is an embarassment.
And people around the world think that's what Americans think.
The paper has graciously (And I think wisely) run some of my op-eds over the years.
But if the NYTimes goes under, I would not be at the Memorial service.
