That's awesome - is it random? The article/picture/content?
FYI, IMO, links to the Times SUCK, since they hijack your browser. For instance, I clicked through, got pulled from your blog, and could not get back until I X'd out and then manually returned.
Also, I've come to the conclusion that most of the Times sucks, as does 98% of all other major media.
Totally random.
And I agree on the Gray Lady. Especially on the cultural level, the Times is always behind the times.
Culturally, pieces like the Times always seemed to me to serve as the benchmark when something has bubbled up from the depths and entered the mainstream - i.e. once the Times knows about it, the meme is already in the wild and surviving.
Politically though, I've lost as much faith in the Time as I have all the other mainstream news media. They've been infected with insanity.
And that's some powerful co-incidence, given the article's subject matter, and probably why you were at the place, at the same time.
I think the Times could serve a very powerful function as The Paper of Record -- I found the Kaz an Nou article because I wanted to see if the "an" was capitalized or not. I want the Times to be the last word. They use a lower-case "an." The restaurant's website is unequivocally "An." Which is right? In the old days I would have gone without hesitation with the Times, but I find so many errors and inconsistencies there that I've lost my absolute faith. It would be great to have some institution where you knew they had tracked everything down to the ends of the earth and had as much credibility as humanity allows, but between Judith Miller and declining quality control, that isn't the Times. (But I feel like having this attitude is tea party-esque and anti-expert.)
Facts - THE TRUTH - no longer pay the bills. Only excitement, page clicks, ad rates, buzz, these are the things that matter these days. The Times is not long for this world, alas, and when she goes, she take down the last pretense of objectivity with her.
Bring on the information anarchy! It's already here whether we like it or not, so might as well make it official.
Sounds a little like a pro-elitist, anti-democracy attitude. What's wrong with a future where we get all our facts from Wikipedia? Aren't the efforts of millions worth more than the expertise of a handful?
I think I am pro-elitist. There's a lot of wicked dumb hicks in a democracy.
