It's quaint....
In today's NYTimes, I noticed the cover story of the business section on the saga of Jimmy Wales. The jump landed me at a picture of Rachel Marsden selling one of Mr. Wales' t-shirts. Then, on the next page was a story about Rush Limbaugh's Mac support issues and how he used his radio program to get his computers fixed.
And I thought, how quaint. These are two stories that have been kicking around the internet for a couple of weeks. And that made me think about why the NYTimes decided to run these stories now or, at all. It isn't as if either of the stories in the NYTimes added anything to the reporting that has already been done elsewhere. --I could have written the stories (re-writing what's already on the 'net.) So, what's the point? I hope the NYTimes doesn't decide it's OK just to rehash what's on ValleyWag.
Of course, I scarcely care about Jimmy Wales love life and really, really don't care at all about what type of computer Rush Limbaugh uses much less how he bullies the manufacturer into a level of support no one else receives.
I just hope that this particular Monday was a bit slow and the editors were grabbing whatever copy they could find.
