A Surrender, of Sorts

A report here, which I found through Michelle Malkin, says that the New York Times is going to start charging people to read their op-ed columns. That means that all the pajama-clad counterpunchers across the nation will no longer be able to simply link to their webpage and start shredding their logic. And even if they do pay to read the editorials, they won't be able to copy them or provide others with links.

So, we won't have the NYT to kick around anymore.

That's okay, because the NYT will surrender whatever direct influence it once had over internet opinion.
