<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for <em>NYT</em> suckered by ExxonMobil in puff piece titled ‘Green is for Sissies’]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Pangolin http://www.grist.org/article/stenography-on-the-deck-of-the-titanic/ Mon, 17 Nov 2008 07:27:46 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/stenography-on-the-deck-of-the-titanic/1 Still posting a "buy" on Exxon shares?

The New York Times credibility starts and stops with Krugman. Other than that you can write off any opinion posted there on economics. These are the idiots that spent the last year telling us what a good buying opportunity the stock market is.

What more can you say? Sure, some stocks will go up; but which stock? They've got a buy on all of them. Just as surely we will be using some fossil fuels but how much is anybody's guess. I'm guessing the supply isn't going to go up.  

Put the Carbon Back

Jeff Huggins (denizen of the comments at the NYT blog Dot Earth) collected and photographed about a week's worth of Exxon ads, in the Times - see the photo in here.

Maybe to preserve its credibility the NYTimes should create a separate section, for articles about its advertisers.

I used the NYTimes "contact a reporter" form, to ask the author of this piece about its genesis ("Could you please tell us, how did your article come into being? did it start with a press release?  were you reminded of how major an advertiser Exxon has been?  etc"), but didn't get a response.
