The Alessandra Stanley Watch: What's Wrong With This Woman?
Alessandra Stanley is an accomplished Times reporter and one of Maureen Dowd's best friends. But she can't seem to write a television review or commentary without getting simple, basic facts wrong. Was Colbert's word "trustiness" or truthiness? Did Geraldo "nudge" a rescue worker or didn't he? "Alexa" Stewart or Alexis? Is The WB a cable or broadcast network? "All About Raymond" or Everybody Loves Raymond? The list goes on and on.
One begins to wonder if there's something more at play here than simple sloppiness.
