The Ben Stein Pile-On

Marek Fuchs on Ben Stein this week:

I have seen a lot of bad business journalism in my day, but nothing as irresponsible and so wholly unsupported by facts. Actually, by even a single fact.

See also: Yves Smith, Henry Blodget, John Carney, Gary Weiss, Larry Ribstein, Paul Kedrosky, Barry Ritholtz, Doug Kass, and Roger Ehrenberg.

As Marc Lacter wrote on reading the column, "As has become routine, Stein will probably get reamed again by the Wall Street bloggers". Is it too much to hope that 2008 will be the year he also gets fired by the NYT?
