I'd be interested to know what kind of slant the New York Times would want 
to put on a talking fish story. Do you think there's a Times editor sitting 
in his office going "Corey, this story about the talking fish isn't 
interesting enough. I want you to punch it up a little. Throw in some 
slapstick. Make one of the guys a Gentile."?

And even if the NYT would want to slant it a certain way, why would the 
Forward - http://www.forward.com/issues/2003/03.03.14/news15.html -  have 
the same slant?
