I remember the media back in the late 1970s, as Reagan was entering the scene. They were not friendly to Carter at all...not friendly to Reagan either, but that’s expected...but still not so unfriendly to the point of publishing blatant LIES about Reagan.

It was nothing like the way the entire media covered (and still covers) Trump, and how they covered for Hillary, particularly her sleaziness and lack of health.

I received it also but haven’t finished reading it yet - distractions keep getting in the way of what I WANT to do/read. Excellent so far!

Let’s see if this formula works. You hire a gaggle of left wing lowlifes, call them “journalists” and let them run your newspaper or network. You are shocked, utterly shocked to find that soon your institution is rightly perceived as a font of “fake news”. How surprising.

“A young woman was hired by the Times from one of the Philadelphia newspapers. But soon after she arrived in New York, a story broke in Philly that she had had a romantic affair with a political figure she had covered, and that she had accepted a fur coat and other expensive gifts from him. When he saw the story, Abe called the woman into his office and asked her if it were true. When she said yes, he told her to clean out her desk—that she was finished at the Times and would never work there again.”

Ha. If that ever happened at the Times today Rosenthal would have faced a lawsuit, job termination, and run out of town by the femi-nazis on a rail.

It’s still straight. Right down the middle between communism and socialism and keeping the fascists on both sides happy.

They claim they are unbiased now. But if the US were to become a communist or socialist state, many NYT “journalists” will claim have have played a major role in the revolution.

“I don’t care if you have a romantic affair with an elephant on your personal time, but then you can’t cover the circus for the paper.” ( Abe Rosenthal )

Case closed. The conflict of interest policy was clear, absolute, and unforgettable.

Abe Rosenthal's out-and-out total integrity - hearkening back to a time when citizens respected the press - BECAUSE they were respectable...

They make it seem like he was part of a long tradition, when, if anything he was a short aberration. In the thirties this fabrication fabricated for Stalin. In the 50s, for Castro. In the 60s for Johnson/McNamara killing machine.

The Rag of Record has been sopping up leftist drool for all of the last 120 years and I only limit it because I am not familiar with their content in the 19th century.

Never liked Rosenthal. He started the myth (now debunked) about the Kitty Genovese murder and fired a good friend of mine. Plus, he was such a bad writer, his nickname was Abe “I writing as bad as I can!” Rosenthal.

I remember an Op Ed that Rosenthal published during BillyBob's era.This was before PerjuryGate...it was about Whitewater.I can't recall exactly what was going on at that time but in response to some big revelation he wrote "We Never Knew".

It was a scathing piece in which he essentially called ILLary a filthy crook.

Back then the NY Times was at least occasionally calling a spade a spade.

Abe Rosenthal was Target #2 of Spy, the 1990s satire magazine.

Target #3 was somebody called Bret Easton Ellis or Bret Ellis Easton.

Target #1? He's in the White House now.
