What a sad sack of feces. It's obviously true that newspapers will print absolutely anything these days; this is usually doubly-true with University papers. My experience reading them during my college days had me wondering if the local psychiatric ward occasionally staged raids into the journalism department and siezed the printing press for orgies of abysmally idiotic and insanely childish writing excercises.
The New York Times may try to claim that it contains "all the news that's fit to print" but this paper needs to emblazon it's circulation with the title "all the news that smells like s**t and somehow makes it to print" as it's earned that moniker after running that piece.
Furthermore, how did this Neanderthal make it into a UMass grad program writing tripe like this?
"I could tell he was that type of macho guy, from his scowling, beefy face on the CNN pictures."
Hmm. Stereotype much, you ignorant cur?
I wouldn't wipe my own ass with something as disgusting and torrid as this...
A quote (one that I've beaten into the ground) that needs to be e-mailed to the editor of the paper:
"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
-Soren Kierkegaard
