There was a What Do You Think button. I didn’t use it, because I found the information here and this was open in another browser tab. When you hit a button, you don’t know what will happen. I hate getting prompted to sign in or sign up, so I don’t use many buttons. I knew what was going on in this tab.
The New York Times has reach and richness. The news changes faster than technology. This should help them keep up with what is going on and there is a lot going on. The news still need to be distilled. Have a stiff drink and deal with it later. Mr. Jack Daniels can make you forget stuff. He can make you forget how to walk. Run with the story. It won’t change happy hour. Bottoms up!
Dave Winer is correct is his assessment of this interview: bullshit. It’s a yawner. (Jeff, why don’t you provide a link to his post?)
And for this quote:
Nisenholtz: This has the full support of everyone in senior management at the Times Company and particularly of Arthur Sulzberger. I remember in my interview with him, back in 1995, he said he didn’t care whether people got their Times news from a Star Trek beam. His view is we have to be in the news business and not in the ink and paper business. If you go back and read his stuff for at least 10 years, that’s always been his mantra.
More bullshit. Even with the “Star Trek beam,” AS sees news as a one-way beacon to deliver a pre-packaged commodity, not a conversation.
Exposing the BS is a full time job. It’s really a thankless job and it doesn’t pay very well. Don’t lose any sleep over BS, it will be there when you get up in the morning.
DH: Please look behind you. See that stick? Extract it, please.
I was away from a decent connection until now and did not see Winer’s post.
YOU could have linked to it.
I said when I first linked to the news about The Times’ newsrooms that I could not and would not comment in detail on that specific news; I have commented at length on this in newsrooms in general.
If delighted that the guys at Instapundit are doing a good job. I agree. But I’m not Instapundit, no matter how much you want me to be.
Why don’t you go and be Instapundit?

Correction: Needs distilled. Sorry about that.

Jeff, Dave added to his post about this interview, AND HE’S KICKING MAJOR ASS.
The staff writers for the NYTimes Pogue, Judy Miller, et al., need some *staff* bloggers to help keep their stories straight.
Jeff, either you’re in a coma, or you’re hiding under the gray lady’s skirt.
BTW, the fill-ins for Glenn are doing a stellar job at instapun.
