bats in The Gray Lady’s belfry

February 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

The New Republic, hardly a bastion of conservative thinking, wags its finger at The New York Times in the matter of The Gray Lady’s non-story about a long-ago non-relationship between John McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman.

(Well, there goes the “tired old man” angle, right out the window!)

    Dennis Boyles at the National Review sums it up perfectly:

    “The Times no longer pretends to offer a chronicle of the day’s events. Its business has changed: It now provides brain cocoa for its dwindling band of readers by offering a daily validation of the assumptions shared by most of them. In doing so, of course, it also alienates more than half its potential market. If that’s a business plan, it’s a bad one (if the spiraling value of NYT stock is any indication — and of course it is).”

    Read the whole thing:
