Something Stinks At The New York Times
The New York Post highlights a story of corruption at The New York Times in an article Scent of Scandal at The Times. It seems the Old Grey Lady's perfume critic received freebies from the manufacturer of a fragrance he touted. No one should be surprised at such unethical behavior at the newspaper, considering the scandals of Jayson Blair and Walter Duranty.
Looking beyond the obvious, how does The New York Times justify employing a perfume critic at the same time its pages and newsroom are literally shrinking in size and influence? How does the Democratic National Committee mouthpiece that has been talking down the economy for the past seven years, focusing especially on the poor, regale its readers with stories about expensive scents the "victims of the Bush tax cuts" would never even smell let alone own?
Some say The New York Times reeks of elitism and hypocrisy. Others, like myself simply stop at reeks.
