TV Yellowstone Op-Ed Ross Douthat

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

Was going to look at this but had to sign up for "free" subscription with NYT and I can't go for that.

Personally, I thought the article was spot on. I don't care for the way it's going here in the west, but the article is correct IMHO.

Hi 406tom, 'Free' may or may not be free. I pay, so.... But a one time may be free. I didn't realize that the links were'nt readable.

I am no fan of Douthat, I enjoy reading the readers' comments more, although I do read his opinion pieces.

I do have a subscription to the NYT, but you can register without paying. It should allow you to read maybe 10 articles for free in a single device. If you have more devices, you can read more articles, for example a smart phone and a computer.

No fan here also - although I, also, often will read his pieces. Agreed, NYT comments are far more of a balanced and interesting consideration.
I enjoy longer writings on important issues - more time to develop a full look at an issue and fewer quick generalizations and inaccurate snapshots.

Douthat, for me, always has too much of an "edge." But maybe that is what sells and that is the problem from my view.
