I understand that the Times is not an audio publication, but from my

Kudos to Ethan for taking the time to do this. The basic problem is
that newspapers are generalist publications, and newspaper editors
have to be generalists, too. So when a snake-oil publicist like
Lawrence Fisher pitches a story idea, the editor isn't likely to know
that he's a phony. (After all, he's got lots of clips.) Yes, he's the
Science Editor, but there's no way he can know about every crackpot
"scientific" theory out there. Plus, audio matters don't affect the
future health of the planet, so they just don't get priority
attention.

The NYT haven't shown themselves any more capable of
handling stores that really DO affect the future health of the
planet. They should just sell the paper as fish-wrapper and
birdcage-liner and save the ink for more productive uses.
