Everything Is Relative
Bill Keller, executive editor of the NYT, needs to get out more.
Sudan, and Darfur more specifically, would be a good place to start.
In an email to POLITICO, he wrote that “saving the New York Times now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause.”
Talk about a massively exaggerated sense of self.
Hate to burst your bubble, Bill, but there’s a slight difference the two. It has something to do with starvation, rape, induced famine, torture, murder, ethnic cleansing – genocide, in short.
Tragic though it is that the dead tree press has lined up its own coffin through overt bias, it doesn’t quite rank alongside Darfur yet.
Give it some time, though, and who knows?
