From the Pages of an Infallible Newspaper

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

One of the newspapers the gentleman that I refer to here mentioned among those that he puts absolute faith in is The New York Times.

It is hard to believe that anyone, let alone such an honest, capable and intelligent man, would vouch for the infallibility of a newspaper — in fact, three newspapers, including Süddeutsche Zeitung and Der Spiegel, all three of which being ideologically committed to a very partial set of beliefs.

They may or may or not be excellent newspapers, but they are certainly not infallible and very unlikely to be free from bias, especially given their forthright support of certain political ideas and convictions and their willingness to act as partisan watch and attack dogs for political personalities, parties and programs.

It is not difficult to find examples of the fallibility of the The New York Times, here is a case in point.
