If the NY Times is not neutral...
Stop the New York Times ^ | July 6, 2006 | webmaster

Posted on 07/07/2006 7:18:13 AM PDT by Sergeant Tim

In an op-ed that appeared in the New York Times on July 1, 2006, Dean Baquet (L.A. Times editor) and Bill Keller (New York Times executive editor) said:

"…We, and the people who work for us, are not neutral in the struggle against terrorism. ... "…The New York Times has held articles that, if published, might have jeopardized efforts to protect vulnerable stockpiles of nuclear material, and articles about highly sensitive counterterrorism initiatives that are still in operation."

They say they are “not neutral” in the GWOT, after all, they too are in the enemy’s kill zone. They infer they err on the side of not publishing information that could assist “insurgents” and refrain from publishing information that could jeopordize current operations. Yet their actions differ from their words...

"…editors and reporters from the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, the media outlets were told that their reports on the SWIFT financial tracking system presented risks for three ongoing terrorism financing investigations. Despite this information, both papers chose to move forward with their stories."

They're not known as the "Slimes" for nothing.

So for every nine stories they publish, one is held back, so they can claim the err on the side of caution?

Who's buying this rubbish?

Of course Keller and the NYT are not neutral in this fight. THEY ARE ALLIED WITH THE ENEMY, plain and simple. The facts say so, as noted in the article, regardless of their protestations to the contrary...

The author needs to look up the definitions of the words "infer" and "imply". I believe it should be "imply".

To quote "if published, might have jeopardized efforts to protect vulnerable stockpiles of nuclear material,"


Where are these vulnerable stockpiles of "Nuclear" material is this material in Iraq? Are they withholding evidence of WMD?

Hmmm lets think about that for a moment.

A little backhanded gift to the President.

But then we know there are and were WMD in Iraq.

We know that but the MSM doesn't admit that and unless they admit it 70% of Americans aren't going to figure it out.

I wonder what percentage of the Times editorial resources are devoted to uncovering corruption and secret plots from al queda or al jareza (sic).
I'm sure they'll get back to me.

Eventually, the facts will be known and there are those who will continue the BIG LIE no matter the truth.

There are NO neutral news sources in print or on TV.


Instead, one must have the intelligence to read, watch or listen to the news and distill what is fact.

Still probably around 70% of Americans don't realize that. My parents for instance are Republicans but still they dutifully watch the MSM news outlets and rarely venture to the net for information. They at least watch fox news but fox isn't all that much better than the rest.

I also think that now they have admitting to knowing about these stockpiles we should hold there feet to the fire to tell us where they are at.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it...IS the Ny Times still seditious?
The answer: YES

The terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world and the NY Times want the same thing. They want President Bush to fail, albeit for different reasons (I hope!) So yes, I would agree with your assessment. They are allied with the enemy against the Bush administration.

Whenever, Freepers finally get tired of the NY Slimes's acts of sedition. They can start hammering the Slimes elite traitor owners today, if they own mutual funds which own NYT stock! They can be an Army of One Former POed Mutual Fund Owner, who divested/sold any mutual fund which owns NYT stock.

INSTRUCTIONS FROM Grampa Dave:

 

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the NY Slimes Stock

 

 

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/ownership/ownership.asp

When the MS Money stock home page comes up, enter NYT into the search area and hit enter and the following screen will show up re ownership of the NY Slimes stock:

The New York Times Company: Ownership Information

  • Shares Outstanding 145.00 Mil

  • Institutional Ownership (%) 83.40

  • Top 10 Institutions (%) 58.60

  • Mutual Fund Ownership (%) 42.64

  • 5%/Insider Ownership (%) 7.77

  • Float (%)

Highlight the Mutual Fund Ownership and hit enter.

If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:

  1. Sell those mutual funds or trade them for funds not owning NYT.

  2. Send a letter to the fund managers and the CEO's of the mutual fund company telling them why you sold/transferred their mutual fund owning NY Slimes stock. Then demand to know why they are wasting your precious $'s on a treason/sedition company which is a terrible investment.

  3. Contact the SEC to investigate why this mutual fund and mutual fund company invested your $'s in one of the worse investments of the past 2 years. Was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes.

  4. Send this how to re Mutual Funds with NYT stock to everyone on your email list for a wakeup call.

We might have a lot more impact than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.
