Another example of why the NYT is dying

Posted January 15th, 2008 at 11:10 AM by Jon Ham

Their “vets as homicidal maniac” series never mentioned that veterans actually engage in less violence than their counterparts who never served in the military. D’oh!

Damn, is it that hard for reporters and their editors to provide a little bit of context so we can make sense of the anecdotes? It’s not in Part 1 of the article. And I’ll bet it won’t be in the future articles, either.

Because it’s not part of the narrative of how our soldiers are either depraved or damaged.

UPDATE: The hits just keep on coming.
