From Frank Rich’s valedictory column for the New York Times. The perils of producing opinion on a schedule can distort the output of industry analysts too.
I didn’t like what the relentless production of a newspaper column was doing to my writing. That routine can push you to have stronger opinions than you actually have, or contrived opinions about subjects you may not care deeply about, or to run roughshod over nuance to reach an unambiguous conclusion.
