Isn't that the same editor of Vanity Fair who is sponsoring a contest to dine with her and the President (just you, them, and 99 other "guests)?
But of course, in this the NYTimes is the pot calling the kettle black, because their very own snarky Maureen Dowd wrote a fluff piece on Saudi awhile back that minimized the problems of women. She even called her article "driving Miss Saudi" without recognizing that the driver was probably a Catholic Pinoy who like the other 1 million Catholics, mostly Pinoys, aren't allowed to have a church, have their rosaries and Bibles thrown away on entering, and can be jailed or deported for attending worship services in a private apartment.

Related story: What if they gave a protest and no one reported it?
GetReligion finds few stories covering the freedom of religion protests around the country.
But of course, if they "noticed" them, the protesters would soon morph to stories of rabid violent fascists, as the press did with their Tea Party coverage.
on the other hand, our local press didn't cover the thousands in the pro life protests here (in contrast to the 200 Protestants who protested Lady Gaga got world wide headlines.

Speaking of Lady Gaga: ..Jesebel says Madonna's "nipple accident" was a protest of Turkey's plan to tighten abortion laws.
Trying to outsmut the competition? Sorry, Madonna, nipple accidents are sooo last year...
But the local Turkish English language press only notes that it looks like Madonna is worried and jealous of Lady Gaga and Billboard agrees.
Hmm...maybe they should do a remake of All About Eve, called "All About Ms. C".
Why all the stories? It's easier to find articles on Lady Gaga's hair bow than it is to find an in depth discussion of the failure of Spain's hundred billion bailout.
and as any Hello Kitty fan knows: LadyGaga stole the "bow" from HelloKitty.
