NYT Prints Another Non-Story, Blathers

What’s odd is that, for a change, they managed to let a few facts slip into a story about an increase in the number of women living without husbands. Of course, they quickly swaddle the facts in a lot of talky anecdotes from people who are able to fully explain the trend by what they and their friends do, but the facts are still there:

• The number of women living without a husband in the home is up a staggering 2% since 2004.
• Since the bar graph includes “widowed” and “divorced”, “single” presumably means unmarried.
• Lesbians, as usual, do not exist.

One of these days, they’re going to have to take a deep breath and hire fact-checkers.
