According to Ken Kurson, editor of the New York Observer, more than two dozen current and former news reporters at The New York Times are highly critical of the paper’s editors and are dissatisfied with the quality of its editorials. The reporters were also scornful of the opinion page columnists.
Of the columnists, they singled out Thomas Friedman. According to Kurson, Sources also criticized the caliber of opinion-page columnists, with a number of people singling out Thomas Friedman, the three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, as an embarrassment.
"I just think it's bad, and nobody is acknowledging that they suck, but everybody in the newsroom knows it," one source told Kurson. "And we really are embarrassed by what goes on with Friedman."
I am thrilled to see the belittling of Friedman. I have long loathed this creep who thinks he’s an expert on anything and everything. Friedman is one of the most anti-Israel Jews in America, right on a par with George Soros. His numerous op-eds about what concessions Israel must make to the Palestinians are really recipes for the obliteration of the Jewish state. It’s great to see him taken down a few notches by his fellow journalists. But Friedman is not an embarrassment, he’s a disgrace.
