Credulousness at AmSpec:One afternoon the New York Post
ran six full pages about Kann's [SIC]
private life. "PERV'S LAIR. INSIDE JONBENET SUSPECT'S SEEDY BANGKOK DEN OF SIN," trumpeted the Daily News. "SEX CHANGE SHOCKER" came next. (The word "shock" is the key to tabloid reporting, with "Britney Baby Shocker" the ideal headline. One new publication is dispensing with pretense altogether and naming itself "Shock!") Now I realize you can't expect much from the News
and Post
but unfortunately both are coupled to rather sensible editorial pages -- and remember, the alternative is reading the New York Times.
1. That depends on your definition of "sensible." 2. I guess a "sensible" editorial page can't overcome the senselessness of RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s hacks. Maybe we're not so credulous.
