Gail Collins criticized for not addressing important issues
New York Times' columnist Gail Collins is accused today by progressive media critic Bob Somerby of not addressing the important issues that afflict Americans.


Gail Collins column topics, 2009:
June 20: John Ensign’s affair.
June 25: Mark Sanford’s affair.
June 27: Mark Sanford’s affair.
July 2: Mark Sanford’s affair.
July 4: Sarah Palin’s resignation
July 9: Michael Jackson’s funeral.


Somerby adds:
As your nation struggles with monetary heists, unemployment and national health care, Collins has three major things on her mind—celebrity, sex and gossip.
