absolutely fitting; other than the 'very little' objective factual reporting 
they do, and the occasional cultural or non-mainstream piece, the NYT has 
largely become just another big town rag with pseuodo-intellectual writers 
who know how to write skillfully, without knowing how to think analytically.. 
 

Perhaps , some young people can start a real publication that "reports" facts 
again, and has a diverse body of opinion writers.  Reading the NYT, I get the 
feeling that everyone on the editorial staff spends their evenings in the 
same dirty bath water.  I don't know why I still glance thru every day.  Old 
habits, I guess ....bobford



"Shortly after the release of its results, Standard & Poors said it was 
lowering the Times's credit rating to "BB-," or junk status, while Moody's 
Investors Service said it was placing it on review for possible downgrade. 

Moody's changed the rating outlook for the company to negative from stable in 
July. A further downgrade would reduce it to junk status."
