Yep, I liked some of his stuff in the past, particularly his book on the various theories of homosexuality. Used it in a course. But something has happened in the last few years. His writing has an element of screaming in it; a new kind of ideological purity--if you don't agree with me you must be, horrors, a left winger. As for the original claim that the Times gets stuff wrong at times and that it has a point of view on the world, the only response is, of course. But it tries mightily to keep from making the ideological mistake of making the world fit its point of view. One of the other interesting things about these debates, is that I've lived within a culture which disliked the Times almost as much, but disliked it from the left side. Life does change. Incidentally, I don't then buy the argument you often hear, that if the left and the right dislike us we must be doing something right.
