An obituary for The New York Times
By Michael Widlanski
When prominent people die, the press publish “obituaries,†reports of their death and a summary of their life. I recently read a New York Times obituary that accidentally summarized the last years of The New York Times, a once-great newspaper.
The Times obit was meant to be about Dr. S. Fred Singer, a noted scientist, prolific writer (including at American Thinker) , and prominent critic of popular climate change models that contend that man has heated up the Earth.
The entire NY Times report -- including a snooty and biased headline -- was not a factual account but an ideological argument meant to discredit the life and work of Fred Singer, once the chief atmospheric scientist at NASA and a man who had penned a book of more than 1,000 pages critiquing popular climate theory.
