New York Times Letter to the Editor (Vanity)

To the Editor:

As I reflect back on the content of your editorial page during the heated debate surrounding the impeachment of the 42nd president of the United States, I can’t help but wonder why you are making such a big deal about this Jayson Blair situation. If you believed that a person who lied under oath before a Federal grand jury, suborned perjury from other witnesses in his case, and obstructed justice in both civil and criminal court cases was fully capable of serving as the nation’s chief executive, then it would seem that Mr. Blair is fully qualified to continue his fine career writing articles for the New York Times.

Perhaps we should all just “move on” and let Mr. Blair get back to the important job of providing your readers with “all the news that’s fit to print.”

Sincerely,

Alberta’s Child

My letter to the editor of the New York Times. I post it here because there isn't a chance in hell that it'll be printed in the newspaper itself.

Ping.

Aw, now you've given JB his excuse. As he was posting false stories from remote locations, while really staying at home in NYC, he was having sex.

That's the ticket; this whole thing is just about sex.

[Billthedrill]

Ooooh, my, that's nasty! My congratulations...BTT...

[spyone]

Ehhhhhh.....mind if I submit it?

[Fawnn]

Fantastic letter!

I like the post that suggests tying it all into "it's all about sex," too.

You know, you could tweak the letter a bit and send it to The New York Post. They might run it. ;)

Good job!

LOL! Bravissimo!!!

Nice letter.

A new item about the Times' bad reporting just came up on Fox News.

The Times reported a few days ago that American troops in Iraq had been ordered to shoot looters on sight. The military denies any such orders were given and that our soldiers can fire to defend themselves, just as they should. They are supposed to crack down more on looters to discourage the activity but there are no orders to shoot on sight. It's just more of the usual Times 'American soldiers are genocidal killers' routine, old hat for that bunch of pinkos.

New York Times: when will the lying stop?

If the NYT doesn't print it, send it into FOX News. Neil Cavuto or John Gibson might read it on air.

[Alberta's Child]

Don't submit it, Texas Eagle! I think I'm gonna follow Fawnn's suggestion that I mail it to the NY Post. LOL!!

[FryingPan101]

Perfect.
