It's no secret that I like Krugman's opinion columns, whether I agree with him or not. In this case - this is only the opinion section because he's Op-Ed writer - this is essentially a factual report showing more courage than that of what's permitted in the "business" of "News." He actually reported nothing but facts. Simple, effective writing, presentation of facts and a framing based on the writers pedigree converts it into Opinion - a safe place for the NYT not to offend an advertiser.
This didn't require a lot of research. The fact is - it seemed more important to Krugman to not make a tacit recommendation of Democrats simply because he was hammering the GOP 'NO' machine. That's all it is and when Krugman and Brooks find themselves in serious agreement - I fear even more that Global Warming could indeed be accelerated by hell freezing over.
