The New York Times has reported on many of its enemies, revealing crimes, misdeeds whenever the circumstances warranted. How they felt personally, gleeful, ecstatic, I'm sure, were mostly kept in check, moderated by their sense of so-called "journalistic principles" in order to maintain some semblance of not being totally one-sided (hard to do when you're the Times).

But with this article I was totally taken aback by the vituperative ferocity in which the Slimes chose to describe what Walmart allegedly had done, the language, the overall abandonment of the slightest sense of objectivity, the gleefulness in which they held nothing back, written in the most malevolent, sinister way, the physiogonomy in which the article conveyed unbridled vehemence surprised me with its viciousness.

The entire piece was if it was written against Jews by Der Shturmer, as if The New York Times acquired the exclusive use of the word Schandenfreude for just this one article for its very own exclusive use.

So what would the NYT have preferred to Wal Mart being there? I’ve heard so many stories about how the Mexican political culture is influenced by bribery so what makes Wal Mart such a target? Oh yes, when you are big enough than somebody must take you down because we must all live in an egalitarian world where nobody is better or worse or bigger or smaller than anybody and we can all live mediocre lives.

So much for being “progressive”

This is news. Mexico has always resorted to bribery.

This is the same way the New York Times dug deep into the Obama-Solyndra corruption, and Holder’s “fast and furious” corruption, and the Obama-Benghazi corruption... And it’s the same way the Times’ crack investigative journalists relentlessly vetted Barack Hussein Obama and kicked over rocks to try to get at least a little background information about him before he ran for president... Isn’t it?

Wal-Mart dares to be non union, of course the Times hates Wal-Mart.

Some U.S. bribery scandal took place about 20 years ago in Europe. IIRC, The Gummint stepped in to stop it through embarrassing the "perps".

I don't like that I'm probably paying for the Mexican bribe by shopping at Wal-Mart.

Paying for access? How does any company get a foothold in Mexico? The WalMart haters have suddenly discovered the grease that makes the wheels turn.

I’m not going to hold it against a company who bribes government officials just so that they may conduct normal business. These government officials deliberately put up road blocks for businesses SO THAT THEY CAN GET BRIBED. Economists call it “rent-seeking.”

Wal-Mart dumped at least $1-million into Obama’s campaign. They can burn in Hell for all I care.
