Wow, is about all I can say. That's mediocre editorial for ideologues, and I say that as someone generally on the same end of the political spectrum. They're the left's slightly more intelligent answer to Limbaugh and nothing more.

If you have a problem with the NYT's editorial, I guess it's impossible to argue that point, since an opinion can't be wrong, much less an opinion about opinions. But that's one small facet of what they do, and not the part that isn't fungible.

And Krugman is well-worth paying for when he's writing longer-form about economics. I agree with you when he veers though. I ended up unsubscribing from his blog there very quickly.

(Judy Miller, Maureen Dowd, William Kristol, et. al.) I'm not interested in paying for that horse manure.

They tried to charge for their editorial section. I wanted to read Paul Krugman for years but you had to pay for the whole section. It wasn't worth paying for just to read Paul Krugman.

I'll get my news from somewhere else – TPM, Firedog Lake, Daily KOS which are good quality sites that don't appear to be in danger of going out of business.
