SCENT OF SCANDAL AT THE TIMES
NY Post ^ | 8-19-2007 | Staff

August 19, 2007 -- IT pays to write a rave review in The New York Times.

The paper's perfume critic, Chandler Burr, admits accepting free samples of a French fragrance to which he'd given a 5-star writeup last year - and then giving the perfume to patrons of a $200-a-head dinner he hosted this month.

Here’s an idea. Let’s all conservatives cancel our subscriptions to liberal papers and use the net to get our news.

All that matters is did he cut the paper in or did he take all the goodies for himself?

How often does a newspaper need a PERFUME CRITIC?

Perfume and Scandal should not be used in the same story.

The only reason that PravdABDNC likes the DNC is that they are the only group more Corrupt than they are. The Mafia is more ethical than the DNC.

Yah. Newspapers are good for picking up dog crap but even there plastic bags are better. The plastic bag they wrap the newspaper in is more useful than the contents, actually, unless you have birds.

But “we” conservatives continue to tune in to left wing networks on cable and TV, buy left leaning newspapers, go to left-wing studio movies, send our children to left wing schools and even go into debt sometimes to fund universities that oppose what we stand for . . .

It’s sort of like not buying Chinese. Easier said than done.

Newt Gingrich was at Disney World with his grandchild this week. Meanwhile Disney produces Ellen Degeneres’ show, provides homosexual’s partners benefits, allows gay pride week, or whatever it is that turns Walt Disneys vision on it’s head and makes it camp for gays rather than good for children, etc.

The only top-flight media company I know of that was outside of the mainstream, Big Idea Productions (Veggie-Tales), got swamped by law suits and overinvesment in a movie, and . . . poof . . . taken over. Conservative media HAVE to avoid debt. The financiers and media corporations are not friends of conservatives or Christians.

Rant over.

Perhaps it's the writing?

Burr did review Sel de Vetiver last Dec. 3, calling it "riveting . . . as unearthly as a god born in the cold under an eerily bright star."

Ooookayyeeee
