    Smith's inability to get through to the right people at the NYT seems stunningly consistent over the decades. Maybe it's him?

    By golly, when ol' Neal Cassady was flipping that ball pean hammer around the Merry Pranksters in days of yore, he'd drop it sometimes, and it was heavy, because it meant something about the vibes and all in that garage.


    The NYT never reported, for instance, the ethnic makeup of the victims of the nazi holocaust. They dropped that story because the Sulzbergers were afraid it would sound like special pleading and thus annoy their racist customers.


    There was a reason the Grey Lady dropped the Watergate hammer ...

    We need to see pictures of these people so we can decide on the casting of the made-for-tv movie.

    Point of clarification: They were still behind the WaPo on the story by about two months-- that tip came 60 days after the actual break-in, which Woodstein were soon already on.


    Had the NYT followed through on this tip, it might have been a footrace to the end (especially with Sy Hersh on the case), but who knows...

    Dear Media Elite (or "Leets" if you will),


    Most of us normals don't actually keep track of who's on what channel. We just flip around until someone makes our underpants tingle or there's an explosion or until the dog eats the remote. So when you call and complain about how we break your sacred trust, you could be forewarned that we will be confused.


    Sincerely,


    Isthatjustdrooloryourbrain

    @GiuseppeRoloson: I love it when they (NBC) lectures us on trying to be more green by remembering to turn lights off in our houses while they needlessly jet Lauer nonstop from Argentina to the Ukraine on a Gulfstream V.

    If he interviews like Palin then my little sullystruck heart will be broken. I want him to sound and speak like Wilford Brimley... without the Diabeetus.

    I would like to dream that it's because he hated Sarah Palin too and Couric reminded him how effectively she put that bird in the Hudson.
