Edward Snowden might be the only upholder of the US Constitution – Snowden believes that freedom of speech cannot exist if NSA spies on our private conversations. But, be surely is the one who single handedly showed the world The New York Times has become a mere rag, a broadsheet covering neighborhood shootouts and opinions of the mediocre sycophants.
Take David Brooks, the well-off conservative mouth piece who has no idea about why the youth are so disenchanted with a government which does nothing for them except to protect corporate interests of the military establishment. In this age of tumultuous reconfiguration The Times still pays people to write about the impediments sexism creates or the advantage of having a family and how incomprehensible libertarian values are. David Brooks unexpectedly hails cooperation, but he fails to say for whose benefit.
From all this confusion it appears clear that The Times needs news writers who can tackle today’s problems. First, they have to understand them. Then, they need to write about them. Until then The Guardian and Edward Snowden are the only ones with a clue.

Always glad to see David Brooks get a little attention.
