My argument is that Okrent's article is off topic.

Ah, progress.

My argument is that you have claimed it to be off topic only after he issued his opinion concerning the NYT's liberal bias. Until then, you never used the off-topic rubric to characterize Okrent or the NYT's liberal bias. A bit opportunistic and facile, I'd say, but what's new.

But the fact is that the NYT's specific reports on foreign affairs issues, i.e., the treatment of Sandy "Pants" Burger's theft by trying to show the Adminsitration in a bad light for Pants' sticky fingers, the relegation of Lyin' Joe Wilson's foibles to page 987 of the main edition, etc., are clearly on topic because they shape the debate and are used by everyone here to make a point on foreign affairs. Thus, if the source is no good, neither is the argument.
