However maddening the New York Times can be, I find it essential. Eat a lot of fish in your household, do you?

However maddening the New York Times can be, I find it essential. I couldn't live without the Sunday crossword and the Sunday chess column. Oh, yeah, and the Sunday Styles section for a few guilty laughs in the weddings and engagements section ["Jack and John met at an art gallery, exchanged glances,...yada, yada,.."] not to mention the pics of the clothes cool NYC cats are wearing these days. Yesterday's photos were terrific, my view of how aliens might dress if they tried to imitate us. Oh, it does have the occassional esoteric non-political article which is fascinating, stuff you won't find anywhere else. I'm thinking of travel articles, profiles of unusual people I had no idea existed, stuff like that. News, policy, editorials? The articles gag me for their bias. I mean, this photo is on the first page of the online version. Don't tell me that the juxtaposition of a grinning W with what seems at first glance to be an enormous Iron Cross was accidental. I'm surprised that a toothbrush mustache wasn't Photoshopped onto his visage. nytimes.com As the Public Editor noted a few months ago, of course it is a liberal paper. I just wish it would acknowledge the obvious. I read the NYT because I consider it a diversion, a high-brow People Magazine.
