Worn Down
There is a basic problem with the
New York Times' concept of a "public editor": He has to live around all of those incredibly nasty, intellectually dishonest, determined, remorseless and ultimately ruthless and irresponsible people who staff the
Times. As with a baby sitter of incredibly nasty, intellectually dishonest, determined, remorseless and ultimately ruthless and irresponsible children, the inevitable consequence to the public editor is
being worn down.
Don Luskin does a wonderful job demonstrating
the ghastly process in (in)action.
