The Sh*t L*st

I wonder if Times's columnists, too, feel like this has made them a lot less relevant to the national conversation.

I haven't read a column by Friedman or Krugman since this began and probably visit the Times's site a quarter as often. Times's management has effectively accomplished what Fox News could only have dreamed of.

I never assume I'm representative of anything, but wouldn't be surprised if I was consistent with a pattern in this case.
