Nick Kristof pens the understatement of the year:
"[W]e will have to work much, much harder to win back our credibility with the public."
...that realization... priceless.
The rest of the article is filled with other such deep epiphanies by St. Nick, but this one caught my eye:
"I think we're nuts not to regulate handguns more strictly, but I also think that gun owners have a point when they complain that gun issues often seem to be covered by people who don't know a 12-gauge from an AR-15."
This, of course, also means that reporters have no business reporting on any part of military operations without a complete understanding of how to retro-fit a humvee for body armor.
Nick, you do your colleagues no favors by being an advocate for them.
