He is a face, a beautiful one at that and a trunk, well-suited with borrowed attire, and a mouth and a voicebox who is given a script to follow. That he sidewalk grilled cheese on the sidewalk on his time off and that some NYT reporter brought that to him, without a grilled cheese agent stalking him or a Park Slope lobby bribing him, is a moot point. He is a well-chiseled statuesque manly face to look at like a pacifier for dignified adults to suck on and stay tuned by. He'll age nicely and gracefully nonetheless.Give truth a chancehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI_6qfcQ0HAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-60007072715884106862011-01-01T13:33:34.172-05:002011-01-01T13:33:34.172-05:00"There have been Times story about Brooklyn&#..."There have been Times story about Brooklyn's so-called food renaissance for several years.

The perennial and biennial chestnuts are the hallmark of intellectually lazy journalism. <br /><br />In the last century, The Times actually had a newsroom in downtown Brooklyn.

And the nightly news is just a bunch of press releases from the White House. <br /><br />Certainly the NYT's coverage can be mocked, but it is based in reality. When I lived in Brooklyn a decade ago, there were few of these grilled cheese joints. <br />Back then, most of the people still believed that pork was bad for you. The place really has changed. All it takes is one stroll down Smith street to realize it. <br /><br /><br />The boom has been building slowly and it just kicked into high gear this year as the coverage indicates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-63921055806238894182010-12-30T23:52:23.325-05:002010-12-30T23:52:23.325-05:00We annotated his comments to see how they stack up...We annotated his comments to see how they stack up against the actual coverage<br /><br />http://www.brokelyn.com/the-brian-williams-new-york-times-video-annotated/Tim A.
