Lazer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Interesting. The bourbon article got almost everything right while the rye article got almost everything wrong.If there's a topic that I know about and then the NY Times writes about it, I usually find that they have no idea what they are talking about.

Eth3rStrik3r Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Is it just me or does it feel like standard news publications have taken a shit in the past year or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The writer of the NYT bourbon article was very concerned about getting things right and called me several times to check facts and even how she presented them. She also is based in Louisville, so she has access to many authorities.The rye article struck me as typical filler, dashed off by somebody who didn't really care.

trumpstylz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If there's a topic that I know about and then the NY Times writes about it, I usually find that they have no idea what they are talking about.I think the paper version is probably okay, but the online version is not (as is true with many publications, not just NYT).
