Whatever happened to The New York Times?
The once-great paper used to pride itself on not having comics, horoscopes, gossip columns and other such tabloid staples. But it lowered its standards a couple of years ago and started an advice column called The Ethicist. It’s written by a wuss named Randy Cohen, and it appears weekly in the Times Magazine.
This column, the tone of which alternates between smug and sniveling, seems to be written for people who were never taught right and wrong. I rarely read it, and therefore am grateful to Direct Media’s Larry May for sending me Cohen’s half-baked answer to a fundraiser trying to create a list of potential donors.
