So this guy, 27 years old, has worked his way up through the ranks at the NYT, despite concerns about his adherance to facts and ability in general. The National Desk is understaffed and he lands there, from which he's supposed to sally forth, be the man at the scene and file dateline reports. Which he does, all from his flat in Brooklyn. Fakes shit left and right, lifts from other sources and puts words in people's mouths on the front page of America's largest paper. Good god. Methinks many people will be sacked.

Where were the editors!?! Where? Somebody in NYC give Rothkoid a job, eh?

Short form on CNN.
Long form (ten pages) at the NYT.

Kill you for it!

Besides. I think if you look at my rather long resume, recently amended, I'm perfect for the job. See how I used to head the UN? NYT-perfect, me.

The quality of the writing for the Times has been in a state of decline for years now - so much of the writing being published there is subpar that it doesn't shock me that it has finally come to this.

I've never felt the news was accurate, I trust it just as much as I trusted the rumors I'd hear in high school.
