Above all, it's terribly sad. The NYT is in the hands of people who are both stupid and vicious. The idea that they would even for a moment take seriously the complaints of these pampered, self-righteous little shits is depressing.

Pampered, ignorant, spoiled children, callow and ignorant of life, are now running the cultural show. The adults--who are supposed to teach them and set limits on behavior like this--are instead cowed by them, turning them into petty tyrants.
Obviously this is terrible for both the children and the adults. But it's terrible above all for our culture. These girls will be weak women, uneducated, incapable of thinking straight.
Just as sad is McNeil's unmanly urge to confession. He's a man of stature: why didn't he behave like one? Why didn't he tell the whole pack of them -- the stupid little student-shits, the rat-face woman interrogating him, and Baquet alike: Line up, take a number, and kiss my ass?
I read the New York Times daily for the same reason that men go to zoos, but I may, at last, cancel my subscription over this. I'm supporting something that absolutely horrifies me. Something that in its own way is as destructive to my country as Fox News.
It only ends when we stop paying for it. It's time to stop paying for it.
