NYT's David Carr, Who Called Midwesterners 'Low-Sloping Foreheads,' Cr

Veteran New York Times media reporter David Carr’s Monday column self-righteously attacked an unfortunate headline on an ESPN mobile website, “Chink in the Armor,” that was widely interpreted as a purposeful slur on the ethnicity of benchwarmer-turned-NBA-sensation Jeremy Lin: “Media Hype For Lin Stumbles On Race.” Giving no benefit of the doubt to the ESPN editor, who has since been fired,…
