Teach her to be a dumb quack. <br /><br />Epstein got this far by tagging on to others' genuine output, and by flicking off the potentiality of youth like dandruff on a rotting corpse.<br /><br />He's another counter-cultural wanker whose confuses his morning ejaculate with his daughter's mental emancipation.

If the Times "juxtaposed" one article on $800,000 houses with one article on some woman who worked her whole life and is now about to become a bag lady, that would be terrific. The Times does not do that. The Times runs (at a guess) at least 10 stories of wealth and overconsumption for every story of the reality of going hungry, losing your housing, etc. <br /><br />What the Times does is akin to the old once-a-year food drive so that everyone can feel good about themselves while shoveling in the mashed potatoes and turkey. "Oh, I'm a good person. I gave a can of creamed corn and some lima beans to the local food drive." And I voted against that sales tax increase. They'd just waste the money on social services.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-76124636903355187352010-08-16T11:26:30.517-04:002010-08-16T11:26:30.517-04:00I went back to my childhood neighborhood recently ...I went back to my childhood neighborhood recently and discovered that some idiots had changed it, ruining my nostalgic trip. I think Mr. Epstein is experiencing the same emotion. ALL newspapers carry more "trivia" content these days, it's part of how they survive. The more depressing prospect is a Times that had not changed with the times. This is a column about Mr. Epstein growing old, not the NYT growing whorish.<br /><br />And Anonymous IV: America is increasingly a country of dramatically polarized standards of living - and an effective way to display that is to juxtapose an article on a family of economic struggles with one on an $800k house. You may not want to know about an $800k house, but I do (and not because I want to live in one.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-83662081268769423052010-08-16T10:21:42.692-04:002010-08-16T10:21:42.692-04:00Anonymous 2:

Tennis lessons for Mom? Kids at language camp? Warner's living in a fantasy world. All that's missing is the plucky housekeeper, the six kids and the husband who's an architect. <br /><br />It's a small example, but there are many others. And every time I see the Times running an article about how much house you can buy for $800,000 (do the math yourself on what the mortgage payment on that would have to be) near an article about someone else who has lost everything because the economy has collapsed, I get a little more disgusted with the paper of record because only crazy people would fail to understand the inappropriateness of what they're doing.Anonymous IVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-60822375996397813112010-08-16T10:15:40.469-04:002010-08-16T10:15:40.469-04:00And you damn kids get off my lawn!And you damn kids get off my lawn!Theophylacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269723193638517569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-15208366800866761122010-08-16T07:09:12.211-04:002010-08-16T07:09:12.211-04:00Epstein is over-selling his argument, but there...Epstein is over-selling his argument, but there's truth to it.

I've been reading it regularly for only 30 years or so. In that time, I can't begin to recall all the people who have said or written that the paper was so much worse than it was and heading faster downhill. The truth is the paper is better than it ever was. Don't rely on jaded memory. Go back and read some editions from the '60s and '70s. Check the front-page story selection, seek out some of the old revered bylines. I can almost guarantee that you'll be amazed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-21627551322897541582010-08-15T20:51:34.555-04:002010-08-15T20:51:34.555-04:00He's got it pretty much right.
