Don’t quit now, everyone is just starting to get good and paranoid over the pseudonym issue. How old are you guys?

Columnists write, but are often assigned topics and their editors determine what gets published and how. I may have the “inside baseball” stuff a little sketchy, but that seems to be the basic process. That gives the editor and the publisher for whom they work ALL of the control.

I read the NY Times everyday strictly for their columns. Therefore, I disagree with your point about columnists not having any control. They don’t have financial control, but clearly than have some control of readership by the content of their columns. The state of CL speaks for itself. It’s a failing newspaper and I hope whoever is chosen to fix it restores the credibility it had in the late 80’s and 90’s.

I was being a smartass.

John and Andy have a lot to do with the current state of CL? Columnists don’t determine the state of a paper, publishers do.

I almost always disagree with Sugg, less so with Andisheh, but they are both excellent writers with compelling subjects, so I am curious how they have had a negative effect on CL. Nice try.

Ken jumped off the ship?

John, Andy, and Ken have a lot to do with the current state of CL. Just because they jumped off the sinking ship does not mean they shouldn’t share the blame. I’ve never seen anything like this before. This type of stuff shouldn’t leave the locker room.

S Dekab Voter calls out the “current crop of hacks” at CL and says that “Mara, Andy, John, Ken, et al should be ashamed.”

You do realize that only Mara is in the current crop of hacks, right? John, Ken and Andisheh were in the previous crop of hacks.

“I’m not Tom Cruise.” John, are you sure? I’m starting to see a resemblance:
