In recent days we have seen some amazing and heretofore unexpected movement away from the same-old drearily-predictable leftist pablum that the NYT had devolved into under the flawed stewardship of Pinch Sulzberger. In more ordinary times, we would have seen this book reviewed by a CAIR board member or by some other Saudi apologist - but certainly not by someone of the stature and with the insight of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Could this possibly be evidence that some adult or adults - perhaps one or more of the NYT's owners who care more about preserving their own unearned wealth than about engaging in the foolish Communist crusades that sprung from the renegade dreams of the childishly-undisciplined and unprincipled family member that they so unwisely put into the NYT's driver's seat - have finally become fed up enough with the disastrous financial bloodbath that has been the predictable and inevitable result of Sulzberger's Pravda-inspired editorial flight from truth and reason that they are now at this late date attempting to undo some of his damage and stanch the losses? Have they actually started to rein in some of his excesses and not-so-creative destruction of their 'franchise'? And, will it be too little, too late?
