Has the Guardian reported that the New York Times is at war with the Bush Administration? They are on record endorsing his opponent and calling President Bush's presidency "disastrous", but that is less objectionable than the Bush Administration criticizing the New York Times for what it claims are reporting inaccuracies and therefore refusing to cooperate with the Times.
I'm just stunned by the gall of an institution that thinks it should be able to exhibit animus against individuals without adverse reaction.
Egad....I can't wait for this election to be over with. I think I'll concentrate on MLB playoffs on weekdays and college and NFL games on Saturday and Sunday. That should be enough of a diversion until the shit hits the fan on 11/2/04.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
It is time that the battle is joined. By punishing the NY Times by limiting their access, the President is weakening the quality of their reporting. He has nothing to lose as the Times will stab him in the back regardless.
I don't think the Times is thrilled with having stories like this written. It will inform the 10 readers left who don't know about the Times' leftward tilt, that a major party has a problem with their coverage and that they'd better check with other news sources before believing what they read.
Damn, those guys owe me a new keyboard.
Recently, Secty Rumsfeld directed that the guys who put together the Early Bird (as it's called) to print periodicals' corrections to earlier articles at the front of the Early Bird.
Since he did that, the EB prints 2-3 corrections and/or retractions a day. Probably 55% or so come from the NYT, LAT, or Washington Post.
When I first heard Michael Savage say that Liberalism is a 'diseases of the mind', I stepped back and said to myself "whoa, this is a little extreme." However, since 2000 and especially with the crap being thrown out by these Red Diaper Doper baby journalists at the New York Times, I believe Mr. Savage is right about them. And it doesn't just stop with the NY Times - how about Dean's orgasmic shout across America or Gore's quasi-demonic rendition of an evangelist ("Rumsfeld outta resign",etc). When I heard those sound bytes, the first thought that entered my mind was "diseased mind."
Boo freakin' hoo.
The bosom buddies at The Guardian and The New York Times think it is 'news' that no one needs them? Man, you could have written that ten years ago, it's not news now.
For the New York Times to preach about spin, the same paper with a front page story on Abu Graib for 32 consecutive days, for just this year being forced to admit that Jayson Blair is a serial liar, and for being the textbook example of the liberal press spinning everything for its agenda, is just plain funny.
"Time to get rid of the old gray lady."
The old gray lady is doing a pretty good job of that herself :^)
It really wouldn't be so bad if they prefaced all their stories with:
"All the news thats fit to print for liberals and UN apologists"
That means that the reporters and editors are independently biased towards libralism. See, isn't that better than if they were colluding about their bias?/sarcasm
The NYT has been at war with Bush for a long time. Glad that Bush is finally waging it back.
I 8 out of every 10 people I know or meet started to call me biased or a racist or whatever, I thing I would do a introspective examination.
When 8 out of 10 people tell the media that they are biased, the call the 8 ignorant Republicans. The simple fact that they won't even investigate the assertions prove the assertions.
Bush should be very careful, otherwise the Times will start printing false, distorted, propogandistic stories about him.
ROFLMAO ping
LOL -- Thanks, I needed that laugh!
