ever notice that how many articles on the front page of "the new york times" say special to "the new rk times," as if it has an elevated status, a privileged status in obtaining information that nobody else can. one of the other interesting devices, is if you study patterns of journalism, "the new york times" more than any publication relies on unnamed highly placed sources. if you were to go through "the new york times" and look at the number of articles that don't quote a source and that rely on that privileged access, this leads to certain abuses. you may recall during the vietnam war, this led to a highly placed source in the administration, referring to the absolute brilliance of the policies of henry kissinger and navigating the vietnam war. a highly placed source commenting on doctor kissinger was doctor kissinger. [laughter] >> but it had to do with the structure of the journalism itself. now, feature writing, one of the things that made it different, is it had a very clear individual voice. and the reporter, the writer of it, whether it was in the old period lincoln steffen o

charles blows, the "new york times" visual op ed columnist, joins us from new york. charles, tell me what you think about david brooks said that racism is largery beside the point. agree? >> well, i agree with another part of his column, which is that there's no way to know. that's the biggest problem with racism and discussions of racism is that we use them as political tools and therefore, we render them kind of trite. and therefore, we kind of lower the intellectual discourse of what racism means. i think that in one way, you can say that race always matters, particularly if you have a president who is black. in another way, we all know that, you know, no one can really measure this. there was a great poll done a year and a half ago, january, 2008, that showed that most whites say that they underestimate the amount of racism against black and most blacks agree that they overestimate the amount of racism against black. we don't even know where the line is, therefore, we can't even start to measure what may be out there. >> well, charles, let's assume you're right,
