I did not believe my loathing for the New York Times could get any deeper than it has.
From warning terrorists of our secret wiretapping program to running the despicable MoveON.org Betraeus Ad to “Smearing Soldiers,” the NY Times barely hides its attempts to undermine America.
Well, they no longer are attempting to hide anything; in fact they are boldly showing how they are single-handedly manipulating the 2008 elections. Tomorrow the NY Times is publishing what most conservatives knew was coming, the long-awaited hit piece on John McCain. Now that McCain has all but wrapped up the nomination they are bringing into question McCain’s integrity and speculating on an alleged affair the Senator had with a lobbyist.
If the NY Times has had this story for weeks and only “sat on it” because of pressure from McCain, they were either grossly negligent in their duties as the watchmen of freedom or they purposely sat on this to wait until McCain secured the nomination so their beloved Democratic Party could regain the White House.
The NY Times knew that a McCain nomination would fracture the Republican Party of its conservative base and they, in my humble opinion, are trying to influence the outcome of this election.
If Bill Kristol has an ounce of respectable conservative blood still running through his veins he’ll resign from this disgraceful newspaper tomorrow.
I will be submitting a Letter to the Editor by tomorrow evening and will be leaving a message with them at 1-888-NYT-NEWS and emailing Bill Keller the news editor.
I encourage you to do the same, but please be polite and to the point.
The mainstream media in the United States is now run by the counter-culture of the 1960s & 1970s, not because the country has moved in that direction but by default; it’s simply their turn by the act of attrition.
Of course, interesting things happen for many reasons. As they came to power in the information communities the Internet came to be. Now, instead of having that monopoly over all the media they are only in control of the mainstream media, mostly because people are creatures of habit.
Where God closes a door, he opens a window, so to speak.
As we continue our travels in the political and social streets we ned to remember that if the truth is to come out we have to steer people away from the mainstream media, not because of its sensastionalism, editorialization of the news and agenda, but because the information they can receive in honest, thoughtful quality Internet publications is more accurate, more thorough and more in-depth.
People are tired of hearing how inept, deceitful, shallow and underhanded the MSM is. Let’s take the positive road and simply start offering a better product at a better price…free.
Davo,
Sorry I have been silent. I lost a dear friend this last week and I am preparing for a TDY starting Monday. I have one word for the NY Times and you, our cabal, and I have discussed this many many times. TREASONOUS! I have no words to describe how much I despise the media. They have become my primary target and where I am foucsing much of my energy through our Executive Committe. Mainstream media has become our own worst enemy through sedition.
I cannot continue to stress how the left media is intent on hiding truths and pumping lies to an already brainwashed and politically ignorant audience. It seems that who wins American Idol is more important than who wins the Presidency. We are in a fight for our very survival!
Hi Dave- I’ve never read the times, and I’m glad of that. Seems like they always have a story that they “sit on” until they can use it for their own treasonous purpose. I used to think that the media’s purpose was report the news, not use it to advantage of their own political agendas. I know that was naive thinking, and I’ve grown up alot since then. This trash on McCain doesn’t surprise me in the least. I’m not a big fan of the man, but it seems that if they really wanted to do a better smear job they could have found something on him from the past year or so- not have to dig way back 8 years for old news. We live in interesting times Dave~ God Bless you! Carolyn
Yeah, it’s pretty awful, though there were several news organizations working on this story. NYT just beat them to the punch. As I New Yorker and one-time subscriber to the Times, I have to admit it stinks. You’d think the ‘paper of record’ would have higher standards than everyone else. This is more in line with a London tabloid than high brow journalism.
BUT, whatever the shortcomings of the NY Times article, smoke unfortunately often indicates fire in American politics. The interesting thing to me is what happens if McCain becomes mired in scandal. All bets would be off for The Republican nomination and the convention would be wide open. Romney will certainly reappear, probably as the frontrunner. Huckabee will certainly be a factor and perhaps NYC Mayor Bloomberg as well.
The editor of the NYT, Bill Keller, himself is an adulteror, having walked out on his wife and son to marry his pregnant mistress, 10 years younger than himself. How can we expect ethics from this guy?
