Over the weekend, the Times:
•Published an article on the front of its Sunday Review section likening Israel to the Soviet Union and the Apartheid-era South Africa government.
•Published an interview with the president of Barnard in which she opines, "my generation made a mistake," without reporting her age or what generation she considers herself a member of.
•Reported as an aside, low down in a column about what might be called riffraff in Union Square and with no further investigation, that "Some bodegas buy $10 in food stamps for $7 cash." This would be the sort of thing an editor who was on his or her toes might say, "forget about the riffraff in Union Square, go write a column about food-stamp fraud."
