Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The New York Times deserves to be marginalized. It is becoming less relevant by the day. I can’t wait until we can legitimately assert: “Who gives a damn about the New York Times? Most people buy a copy merely to clean up doggie excrement.” The First Amendment gives one the right to utter their views. There is no corresponding obligation to pay attention.
