The NY Times deserves to be roundly and thoroughly roasted for this crap. One would think they were utterly unaware of the multiple and utterly valid criticisms of Geller, particularly by James Randi and Penn Gillette, both illusionists of the first water and well-acquainted with Uri Geller and his con [and yes, that's what this is, a CON job]. And this is OLD NEWS. That discussion between Johnny Carson and James Randi is decades old and well known to anyone who is aware of Uri Geller's alleged abilities.

Geller neither needs nor deserves rehabilitation. What he needs and deserves is DISMISSAL.

I used to be a big fan and reader of the NY Times, but they have gone down hill as have most of the hard news outlets in this country. It is to be expected when MBA types are put in charge of newsrooms, and not journalists. When it's all about the quarterly report, puff pieces about frauds like Geller are to be expected.
