The New York Times has stopped being COVIDIOTs

No, I'm not talking about some of the Old Gray Mare's he-said, she-said on Trump pressers as late as last week.

I'm talking business side.

They've stopped publishing Sunday sports and travel sections for the duration.

And it took it this long WHY to make that call?

And even this isn't that big of a deal.

Most daily papers aren't even publishing sports PAGES, let alone sections.

The Dallas Snooze had, last week Thursday, one, maybe two pages as a lead-up to the NFL Draft. This is DALLAS, home of Jethro Jerry Jones and his Cowgirls.

And, travel? What was the Slimes running the last couple of weeks, excursions from the Lower East Side to Staten Island? Upper East Side to Harlem? Seeing if New Yorkers were welcome in Connecticut

Dean Baquet kind of asleep at the wheel, unless Punch Sulzberger was forcing this stuff to still print.

That said, per H.L. Mencken, nobody ever went broke overestimating the pomposity of the Times.
