NEW YORKIn a recorded discussion posted to the newspapers YouTube channel, opinion columnists forThe New York Timesreportedly held a roundtable Thursday to determine what, exactly, was wrong with them. It is a tragedy that there is something wrong with us; it is a larger tragedy we have not yet been able to pinpoint what precisely it is, said Bret Stephens, addressing colleagues Ross Douthat, David Brooks, Maureen Dowd, and Ezra Klein, who were all gathered as part of the panel aimed at shedding new light on what the hell their deal was. Is it nature? Nurture? Insanity? The University of Chicago? Together, we will probe the strange forces that compel us to write what we write. At press time, the columnists had reached the conclusion that no one would ever know what was wrong with them, deep down, but that this was what made the discussion so worth having.The post NY Times Columnists Hold Roundtable To Determine Whats Wrong With Them appeared first on The Onion.
