Great science behind this one - it's a survey.

I did know a guy who ate a lot of fried potatoes and he died. Never saw the bus coming.

I lived there when Abe was influential

I actually bought it like most did

For book review and foreign affairs and arts.....man you can’t beat them for arts and theatre coverage

They go way in depth on foreign affairs like few papers do

But man media today is a lost cause ...not just mildly liberal

Slate or Salon or Daily Beast

Those are now moderates when compared to the whole body of media online

Not to mention search engines and social apparatus sites

The left owns it

FOX is basically a 1970s Democrat middle of the road perspective which passes for conservative

Sam Nunn and Scoop Jackson would have been regulars on FOX

if they wanted to scare us, they should have said they were ALMOST as deadly as working for the Clintons while having a conscience...

I believe Arthur Jr is the only family member still active, and he’s Episcopalian. And I’m told does not like at all being mistaken for a Jew because of his grandparents. His dad was at best nominally Jewish, at least he didn’t deny it, but didn’t practice any form as did his Reform father.

I like Potatoes O’Brien, with onions and peppers. It has vegetables, so it must be healthy, right?

And next will the the NYT’s attacks on gefilte fish, matzo balls, and Jewish dietary laws in general.

I ate latkes all the time as a kid and made them for my husband after we were married. He thinks it’s one of the ultimate comfort foods. My Mom was a terrific cook and when I was a young child we lived in Brooklyn surrounded by many ethnic groups. One of my favorite snacks was schmaltz(rendered chicken fat) spread on a piece of bread or a chopped chicken liver sandwich. When we moved to Long island she then became a great Italian cook. My cholesterol is just fine and she just died at 100!

They slipped up and some copy editor put the ‘potato’ bit in ... what they meant was eating is dangerous for your health - see how easily these things get blown out of proportion?

I think almost all of the standard wisdom about food is incorrect.

I agree. Growing up in the 1970s, the health nazis frightened my mother so much that she stopped buying eggs, replacing them with those "egg beaters" which is basically just a bunch of chemicals. Then she substituted healthy butter for sticks of chemicals saturated in trans-fats (margarine). Likewise, bacon and red meats disappeared from our refrigerator to be replaced with salt-laden processed turkey and chicken meats because they were "better" for you according to the experts. I can go on and on. Diet soda like Tab was considered a godsend and my mother drank it by the gallon.

My father had a major heart attack when he was still in his 40s. Fortunately I escaped and spent most of my adult life indulging in real butter and all the eggs and steak I want. My cholesterol is still under 200 and I have no trace of heart disease (I'm in my mid 50s).

Eat more meat. Preferably beef. A nice juicy steak. Cow farts be damned.

I think there is high correlation of reading the NYTimes and going insane.


Almost. there is a documented correlation of the insane reading the NYT.

To whatever extent they might be considered a "Jewish" newspaper, they lost their moral conscience long before that. They missed the Ukraine famine, more accurately misreported it, they missed the Holocaust, except for an few articled in the middle of the paper. They reported the Armenian genocide, I don't know to what extent. So at best any moral conscience they once had disappeared between the world wars. About a century ago.

In fairness, I'm not sure we should expect a moral conscience from the media. Factual reporting would be nice, as would be outlets reporting both sides.
