The NYTimes, et al. Just goes to show you how right Lincoln was. You CAN fool some of the people all of the time.

“drawn the cognitive dumbest”
Right. All he did was “mention” the NYT. Phenomenal argument and refutation of the points made in the column, airth. The brilliant pop culture reference really brings home the tremendous impact of your scintillating wit and wisdom.

I am just wondering how dumb Roger Kimball thinks his readers are. I mean, he really has drawn the cognitive dumbest with this posting. All he has to do is mention The New York Times and with that he has released the equivalent, in the form of deformed comments, a sequel to the movie “Dumb and Dumber”.

The NYT has always thought its readers dumb. That’s why it’s written at a 5th grade reading level, while the French paper Le Monde is written at a 12th grade reading level. (Sadly, the newspaper with the highest reading level, The Wall Street Journal, is itself only at an 8th grade reading level.)

All I have to know is that my local weekly shopper newspaper has a greater circulation then the NYT on a daily basis.

The NYT will be out of business in two years if it isn’t bought by Rupert Murdoch by then. He might just let them go under, though. The damage done to it’s reputation by the moonbats who publish it currently might be too much to overcome and thus not worth buying.

Jeez. Now the thought police have created another non-word to add to the other non-words. You know, the F-word, the N-word, the I-word (Islamist) and now—per Obama’s pitifully wussyfied thin skinned-ness— the A-word!

Distraction! Unfair! Old Politics! Leave Brittany/my wife alone!

….pathetic for a man who purports to be strong and stable enough to lead the world.

Criticism: the ads in this comment section cover up parts of the comments. Is this a feature…or a bug?

T. J. Babson: The New York Times is sophomoric.
