There are those who encourage me to subscribe to the New York Times. We did take the paper for about 30 years while we were working Back East, and it had its good side. Unlike the Press Democrat, the Times does not publish letters to the editor written by crackpots. But I quit on the Times when it helped push our country into a pointless war against Iraq that killed hundreds of thousands of us. By "us" I mean ordinary people in Iraq and in the armed forces.
This morning I woke to read that the Times has hired a opinion writer who denies, in part, the science of climate change, a dope who compares science to opinion polling. The Times has apparently decided to follow the Press Democrat and widen its potential sales appeal to the lunatic fringe. The next step will be for the Times to print letters to the editor from Holocaust deniers and segregationists.
