Introducing This Blog - Paul Krugman - Op-Ed Columnist - New York Times BlogI don't believe the official story that Krugman played no role in the end of Times Select.
...For now, though, the important thing is to realize that the story of modern America is, in large part, the story of the fall and rise of inequality.
I suspect that back when the NYTimes went "Select", cutting off Krugman and Frank Rich was the feature, not the bug; they were a unique thorn in the side of the Bush Administration, at a time when the NYTimes was using its news sections to promote the Bush agenda (cf. Judith Miller, etc.)
ReplyDeleteNow that Bush and his party are out of the picture, whatever deals were cut, formally or informally, with Sulzburger are now doubtless null and void.
