I think it was pure frustration that caused Kirkland to admit it. But, who knows, maybe he just discovered it because he cares to publish real analysis and news.T.

Heh. <br /><br />It comes through when one is really trying to understand what is going on as Kirkland was here. This is the real blah, blah, blah.<br />T.

I've noticed that with increasing regularity, our young "reporters" omit words from sentences, among a slew of other patently obvious grammatical errors.<br /><br />Low quality all around. But they have great self-esteem.

And apparently the lack of business savvy spills over from advertising buyers to business operations managers since NYT operating costs went up faster than advertising revenue. <br /><br />Kind of like the national debt. No matter how much goes in more goes out.T.
