The article quite literally allows Sam to hang himself, I think you are completely misreading it and are counting on NYT to editorialize (which I assume you will of course complain about if they did it to someone else).
- bogomipz 4y agoIt seems as though you might not understand what "literally" means. "To hang oneself" is a figurative expression. It is actually the polar opposite of "literally." Your comment about me "counting on the NYTimes to editorialize" is equally bizarre and makes me think you might not understand what that means either. At any rate your ad-hominem attack is uncalled for. I expect better journalism from the NYTimes as it is newspaper of record in the US. I also clearly articulated my reasons for believing why this article did not constitute good journalism in my previous comments.
