Sometimes chronicling media bias and hypocrisy is just too easy. You couldn't have asked for better material than what was provided Wednesday by the New York Times which ran a thousand-word-plus article discussing the alleged nepotism of Commentary’s hiring of John Podhoretz to run the magazine.
I’ll grant that this type of character assassination article is typical when it comes to the liberal press’s normal gorillas-in-the-mist view of conservatism. Still, you’d think that the Times might be a little more inclined to avoid such journalism when its prestige and profits have been on a downward spiral ever since publisher Arthur “Pinch” Sulzberger Jr. was handed the reigns to the New York Times in 1992 by his father.
That’s not the case, however. Instead, Times reporter Patricia Cohen finds a former Commentary writer who accuses the magazine of violating its foundational ethical principles. She finds others to grouse about the Podhoretz appointment, quotes author Adam Bellow speaking of “the new nepotism” and then ends—after a few pro forma quotes praising Podhoretz—with nary a mention of her boss.
And these are the same folks who accuse President Bush of being intellectually incurious? Surely, an article with the phrase “new nepotism” in it ought to have a mention of young Pinch. Sadly, no.

Is nepotism like Valerie Plame Wilson recommending that her husband totally unqualified husband be sent on a sensitive mission to afdrica on behalf of the CIA (as proven via he memos)? Just wondering.
Ms. Cohen obviously missed her calling as a rocket scientist. Just how low can your IQ be and still graduate from journalism school?
Don't ask.
NYT pointing fingers for nepotism? BWahahahaha. You can’t make this stuff up. These people are impossible to parody.
There is no lower limit for J-school grads.
Nepotism is wrong?
Don’t tell Hollywood...

Punchy and Pinchy. Nepotism? Naaaahhhhh
Yes there is. I'm not sure what it is, but when you drop below a certain level you are automatically transferred into Ed-school.
LOL
Nepotism: a recipe incluing a Pinch of this and Pinch of that.
