TOM MAGUIRE: “I think we should demand that the Times editors be encouraged to read their own newspaper.” Or as one of his commenters notes:

I’m not sure if I have this straight: On Saturday, the NYTimes prints a story going after blogs for repeating conspiracy theories that have been debunked.

Then, on Sunday, the NYTimes prints an EDITORIAL latching on to those same debunked conspiracy theories.

Is that right? I’m asking because it just seems so utterly retarded that I can’t believe even the NYTimes would do it.

“Retarded” sounds so harsh. How about “editorially challenged?”
