I would change the words "New York Times" to "Kelefa Sanneh" and agree with you.

Really? Because I would just leave "New York Times" in that sentence.
Judith Miller? David Brooks? William Safire? John Tierney? Tom Friedman? I won't even mention Jayson Blair.
Oops! I just did!
Don't forget that the NYT helped sell the Iraq War to America with their misinformation and regurgitated propaganda. Never forget that. Ever.
Also don't forget they held off reporting on Bush's wiretapping program until right in the middle of an off election year. Too late for people to turn on Bush, too early to turn on the GOP for the midterms. They have failed as a check on power. In fact, they are a tool of power.
I wouldn't line a birdcage with the New York Times. They can eat a fucking dick.
