The American Spectator

The Spectacle Blog

With its writers and editors attacking each other within the same pages, the New York Times at this point looks like an unsupervised college newspaper. What I had hoped was an autobiograpical column, "A Woman of Mass Destruction," turned out to be another explosion of envy from Maureen Dowd. The sexism in the column -- Dowd charges Judith Miller with a "tropism toward powerful men" and this from Howell Raines' favorite employee -- is very disappointing. If only Judith Miller had protected a liberal source -- and cut corners on behalf of a story that would give the left a triumphant storyline -- she too could share column space with Dowd.
