The New York Times had another in a string of embarrassing moments this weekend, part of a steep descent for the "paper of record," much like that of President Obama's approval numbers. And neither seems to have bottomed yet. In reality, the Times' latest disaster is quite closely related to the Obama approval ratings free fall.
A significant majority of Americans (54%-35%) ) now favor doing nothing as far as health care reform, if the alternative is one of the bills working its way through Congress,( each of which is a thousand page or more monstrosity, with untold consequences for cost, coverage, or quality)
In response to the ebbing support for health care reform, and the President, the New York Times attempted to come to the rescue of both on Friday, with a front page "news story" in which they attacked the idea that "ObamaCare" would lead to the creation of any "death panels" -- bureaucratic bodies that would deny care to the elderly, and promote euthanasia for the very ill to hasten their departure from the world.
For the Times, it was not enough to try to undermine the fear of death panels, but to find villains for spreading such malicious falsehoods. It would seem that the Times is unaware, that under the new program described by Information Commissar Linda Douglass, the former ABC news flack, that the White House has been overwhelmed with emails by informants and many self admitted perpetrators of "misinformation" who were turning themselves them in for saying bad things about ObamaCare.

I noticed recently that even my dog won't use it anymore.
Time for end -of-life counseling for the Times.
“I noticed recently that even my dog won’t use it anymore.”
Well, my favorite terms were “fishwrap”, as for the UK Guardian, or bird cage liner, but it might kill the bird.
The poor old NYT is barely good for starting a fire.
Sounds like Captain Kenya's brown shirts got FReeped.
