According to Ms. Leo, the New York Times will continue to be run by lunatics. The papers censorship of its own sportswriters (who defended Tiger Woodss choice not to become involved in the Augusta golf club controversy) was just a teaser, she says. Theres much more heavy-handed propaganda-guised-as-news and lousy fact-checking to come. Ms. Leo believes the Times may even be changing its name to Pravda, though she admits that she is not certain. It might just be all the Prada handbags held by the New York Timess readership.Ms. Leo says that the D.C. sniper, who confounded analysts by turning out to be two black men, will receive the death penalty, but not before successfully suing The National Enquirer for falsely alleging a homosexual relationship between them. Ms. Leo sees John Allen Muhammad creating a genuine quandary when he tells the media, Im not gay. I only killed a bunch of people. Reporters become confused about whether to jump on the homophobia implicit in Muhammads remarks, or to respect his perspective as a member of the worlds most peaceful religion, Islam. They are grateful when Martha Stewart gets sent to jail and has her wallpaper trim confiscated, so they can focus on that instead.
Oooooo! The smack of irony in this bite is stinging.
