This post from last week noted how Felix Salmon had become NY Times business columnist Ben Stein’s worst nightmare, sort of how Larry Ribstein had been to Steins’ fellow columnist, Gretchen Morgenson.
Now, Stein’s nightmare is multiplying exponentially. On the heels of Stein’s latest Sunday Times column, Salmon, Yves Smith, and Dean Baker have already pointed out the vacuity of Stein’s analysis.
Do the Times business editors even notice that Stein has become a laughing stock?
