I'm reading that book by him now and I've read his articles before... I don't see him as radically liberal, just someone on the outside trying to make sense of things...

the book so far is very well written and researched IMO - greatly interesting too

I seriously had never heard of that as a name before this book, at first I thought it was for sure a misprint

Seriously you want to go by how liberal the op-ed people are at the NYTimes

Quite Liberal:
Frank Rich
Bob Herbert
Maureen Dowd
Paul Krugman (Although certainly the most respected of the bunch as he's a professor of economics at Princeton)

Quasi-Liberal:
Kristof

Centrist Mostly Sometimes Liberal:
Thomas Friedman

Conservative:
David Brooks

Middle of the Road Libertarian:
John Tierney


People don't really seem to appreciete
#1 How amazingly talented and non-partisan the NYTimes Newsroom is
#2 How amazingly talent the columnists are
Kristof is known around the world and his humanitarian work is so noted that even Bill O'Reilly wouldn't attack him when Kristof baited him
Paul Krugman is known just as well in economic academic circles as in political circles, a very rare feat, and can write complicated economic situations in simple english
Tom Friedman is known around the world as an American-Jew welcome in the Middle East, not because he is "liberal" (he called for the Iraq Invasion) but because of how brilliant he is and how engrossed he becomes in the local politics and culture
Maureen Dowd's sharp wit has won her multiple words including a Pulitzer
Frank Rich's writing style is simply masterful
William Safire recently quit, but he was possibly my favorite conservative as he really stuck to his principles without trying to call the other side idiots

Since Safire left, two things have changed
Brooks was added, he is a strong conservative and some of his writings sound a little too DCish for my taste (I prefer Bob Novak for my conservative op-ed readings, from the Sun-Times)
Tierney was added, and his libertarian articles don't really strike me as having the same calibur as something like Kristof could write
Bob Herbert went away from his expansive writing style and went into an anti-Bush tirade that has gone on for two years, whenever I read his articles anymore I feel like I am reading a post off of crooksandliars that I already read

So, its not perfect, but especially if you go in the early 2000s, the NY Times Columnists simply blew everyone else out of the water when it came to intelligence, writing style and straight up talent
