Earth To Manhattan
It's easy to jump on the bandwagon and bash the New York Times, but sometimes they make it too easy. Such as this lede from a story on Boston Red Sox GM Theo Epstein by Gina Bellafante:
Until Theo Epstein became the general manager of the Boston Red Sox two years ago, at 28 - an age when many young people are still wrestling with decisions over whether to become novelists or prosecutors . . .
Yeah, I remember those days, wrenching as they were.
I'm sure that's a demographic group that totals somewhere around, oh, 150-200 individuals, nationwide.
Hey Gina, get out a little more and try to talk to somebody besides your friends from college.

When I was 28, I was wrestling with the decision of whether to stick with journalism or get a real job.
