    Why did the NYT let a report called 'Walt Mossberg' write newb-level electronics reviews, rather than pushing him in the direction of being a hard hitting, hard drinking, crime-beat reporter with a tolerance for risk and a taste for vigilante justice?

    It seems like such a waste...

    Only in comics, man, only in the comics. Real world reporters on crime-beat tend to blame society now, it's the PC thing to do.

    Screwing up so bad they made Apple look amazingly good.
