How The New York Times And Washington Post Lost Their Worth
The New York Times and the Washington Post are churning out reams of articles in fulfilling their traditional function of explaining what went wrong - you will be relieved to know that they haven’t come up with anything that Anorak has not already covered- but I am waiting with some glee for the next step in the process.
Viz, how come things could be so monumentally f*cked when the New York Times and the Washington Post hadn’t noticed that there was anything wrong before the shit hit the fan bigtime?
The model will be the New York Times eviscerating itself when the Weapons of Mass Destruction it had so confidently stated were stockpiled in Iraq turned out to be a fantasy.
This time around it’s the Weapons of Mass Financial Destruction which they failed to notice, notwithstanding the fact that, short of turning cartwheels across their desks, the WMFDs couldn’t have been more blindingly obvious.
Anyone like to bet on the time scale for the ritual breast beating to start?

Dubya
It just gets so embarrassing to have to explain that we’ve spent almost as much on invading Iraq as on the Mother of All Bailouts (Part 1), and we still can’t find either the Weapons of Mass Destruction or the Weapons of Mass Financial Destruction.
It doesn’t look good, Dubya, and there are only so many moose you can shoot before Alaska sinks under the weight…
