Into your life it will creep
At The American Thinker Richard Baehr returns to the Krugmania beat: "More Krugman lies: The Great Unraveling continues." Baehr writes:
Did Byron Calame, public editor of the Times, sign-off on this “correction” which contains further lies? Was he too lazy to read it carefully and check it for accuracy? If so, he has lost whatever credibility he might once have had, and adds no value to the organization. If not, then either he must comment on Krugman’s further distortions, or his silence reasonably can be construed as acquiescence to lies.The New York Times has seen its reputation and credibility erode seriously under the leadership of "Pinch" Sulzberger, its hereditary publisher. The continuous rise of the internet has enabled critics to hyperlink source material proving Krugman’s lack of integrity. Krugman simply could not get away with his lies if he were required to post hyperlinks. So Krugman and his backers at the Times hierarchy are in essence flaunting the inadequacies of their publishing format in a manner which will provide ample grist for the critics to demonstrate their obsolescence.
Why is the New York Times still employing a serial liar in its op ed pages? There are only a few answers, and none of them bodes well for the shareholders of the New York Times Company, the newspaper industry (which is virtually ignoring the scandal), or Krugman’s reputation.
