I'm surprised Times heavyweights such as Dowd, Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman haven't successfully rebelled against this firewalling of their columns, which as you indicate must significantly diminish their influence.

It really went against my grain to send my money to the Times and subscribe, but as someone who tracks liberal media bias, and all joking aside, I considered it was my duty - and a good investment. It certainly is a treasure trove of MSM-think over there. Rarely a day goes by that it doesn't provide some jewel for me to write about!

The only problem about writing about it is that most of us now don't really know what you're talking about, as we don't read it!

I will, however, take your word for it. It is much easier on my nerves to read your paraphrasing of her column than to read her actual words. And every time you tell us about what she wrote, it reminds me that she and those others are in their little enclave and aren't read as much anymore, which makes me very happy.

I for one wish to thank you for your service. Because you do this, putting your mental health in harm's way, I don't have to! Thanks again and stay safe.
