You have to understand, the New York Times is no longer a newspaper in the traditional American sense. It has become a propaganda sheet more akin to Pravda in the former Soviet Union. The sole purpose of the paper is to disseminate whatever fiction the political operatives of the Democrat party want fed to the masses that day. Once you understand this the scales will fall from your eyes and you will probably be less incensed by what you read in the Times.

Interestingly, my guess is that those who control the NYT probably consider the comparison to Pravda a compliment.

I wouldn't describe myself as "incensed."

I know that the NYT has a certain predisposition to slant the news to suit their own ideological nostrums. I was just somewhat chagrined that they chose this particular forum to launch a partisan assault against the Bush Administration.

It seems as if Klinkenborg's cursory mention of several new releases dealing with Global Warming was merely a pretext to insert his own political viewpoints into the NYT Book Review.
