The New York Times has been taking plenty of abuse lately for sloppy, agenda-driven news coverage. (This correction is a stunner when viewed against the original story (especially the headline), even by Times standards.)
But in the spirit of Chanuka and Thangsgiving, we should take a moment to appreciate the Times' virtues as well. Specifically, I hereby call for a one-day moratorium on NYT-bashing in the blogosphere. Any paper which publishes a lead editorial with this headline can't be all bad.
