In an online forum last year I asked Ben Brantley what effect the new media had on newspapers and whether it had diluted the power of old school press. He replied that "everyone's a critic" and pointed out the case of ABIE'S IRISH ROSE, a 1920's musical that received terrible reviews but ran 5 years. I took from that that even he is skeptical about a critic's power .
