I love the New York Times.
It’s a great paper with a great tradition of quality journalism. When The Times tells me something, I believe it. No questions asked.
I do wonder, however, what their policies are on extreme cases. But why am I even thinking about this. If the New York Times tells you something, it’s right. That’s what I have to believe. I was told by the New York Times that the sky was blue and it’s blue. Doesn’t matter that I know damn well it’s sunset and it’s got a orange hue to it.
The New York Times knows what it’s talking about. That’s it.
