SocraticGadfly: The NY Times hates the environment

The NY Times hates the environment

Advising readers in a Travel story about the Grand Canyon to take a helicopter tour — a highly noise-polluting tour — is a sure sign. Telling them to download the soundtrack of “2001” for a morning stroll on the South Rim, rather than listening to, well, the sounds of nature at the South Rim, is the second sign. NOT even talking about taking a hike below the rim, into the canyon, is the third sign.

(Apparently mislabeling some hoop-dancing Indians as Navajos does not help your credibility either. And, beyond that, as someone who knows his way around a camera, the slideshow pix are not that impressive.)
