Soundbite: All The News That’s Fit To Pick

“Our biggest scoop? Probably when we discovered that the anagram for “New York Times” was “Write, Monkeys.”

— The anonymous, mysterious NYTPicker in an interview with PBS Mediashift’s Craig Silverman, in which they reveal that they are actually a “they,” and that there are six of them. They think the paper’s best columnist is Philip Adler (on bridge), are no fans of Thomas Friedman, and promise the NYT that they won’t text and drive: “We get it. It’s dangerous. We’ll stop.”

The interview is very funny, and also interesting. Read it here.

Update: Glynnis wrote about this yesterday and I missed it, proving that we have almost the same brain except we picked different soundbites. Actually what this proves is that this interview really is well-worth the read. Something else Glynnis and I have in common: We are both Canadian, like Craig Silverman.
