Can We Please Shut the New York Times Down Now?

And replace it with something with a little more self-awareness and a little less utter stupidity?

Outsourced to Dean Dad:

Confessions of a Community College Dean: When We Say “College,” We Don’t Mean You...: Sigh. The New York Times strikes again. This time it’s with a four-part colloquy of important people discussing “why are colleges so selective?” How is someone at a community college supposed to read the question “why are colleges so selective?”... Honestly, sometimes reading the Times I channel my inner Lou Ferrigno. “HULK SMASH PUNY RECORDING SECRETARY OF RULING CLASS!” What’s the difference between the New York Times and David Hasselhoff? One is a pathetic joke, and the other is David Hasselhoff. This story is so bad, it almost makes me long for the only-mildly-embarrassing musings of Stanley Fish...

Why oh why can't we have a better press corps?
