Here's a few more accidental errors on the front page of the NYT before the election that were later 'Corrected' to make up for the error. You know where the corrections wind up.

"Because of an editing error, a front-page article yesterday about the final Sunday of campaigning before the presidential election misstated the party affiliation of people who said that President Bush's job approval rating, and the number of Americans who believe the nation was heading in the right direction, were dangerously low for an incumbent. They were Democrats. (Go to Article)

An article yesterday describing the results of the most recent New York Times/CBS News poll reversed the results for one question. Fifty percent of poll respondents said George W. Bush legitimately won the 2000 election, and 45 percent said he did not. (Go to Article)

An article yesterday about political messages in sermons referred incorrectly in some copies to John Kerry's position on same-sex marriage, an issue important to Roman Catholics. Mr. Kerry does not support it, but supports the right to civil unions for same-sex couples. (Go to Article)"

Apparently alls fair to the NYT.

Yesterday's NYT ran an article that admitted that Mary Beth Cahill sent out emails to the Friends of Kerry in the media to ask that they not call Ohio because Kerry could still win (even though the statistics indicated a Bush win). The NYT also said that Edwards was the one who wanted to call in the lawyers (surprise!).

I hope that we get to see the name of this veteran liar for the Slimes, who pretends to be a journalist.

This whole mess of phoney exit polls and Baghdad Zog's last phoney poll he released the night before the election smells of an incredible fraud attempt by the MSM to defeat our president.

It is time for the SEC and the worthless NY AG to put some publishers, editors, and owners of the NY Slimes in jail for two lies:

#1. Lying about their subscription #'s to get higher ad dollars.

#2. The fraud of pretending to be a legitimate newspaper. The NY Slimes is the leading PR arm of the Socialist/Facist Rat Party.

Whores at least provide product and service.

The NY Slimes is a criminal organization that uses Fraud to jack up its subscription #'s to get higher prices for its ads.

Last but not least, the NY Slimes is not a newspaper. This is the biggest fraud of all. It is nothing but a vile PR arm of the socialist/fascist Rat party.

We have a brand new brown shirt digital troll trying excuse the MSM media and the NY Slimes for what they did on Election Day.

Lets give this brown shirted digital troll a great big FR welcome.

"I don't think we have to make this out as a liberal conspiracy this time around. We all know polls can be wrong, and they are often used to allow news organizations to call states earlier than pure waiting for the 'official' count. These early exit poles allowed many of the red states to be caller earlier in the evening, slidifying Bush'd electoral lead early on.

Some states in particular did have exit poles showing a higher percentage for Kerry than actual results, but there could be a number of explainations for that"

Time for some fun Zotting this troll for the MSM.

I think exit polling should be illegal. It only serves to influence those who have not voted yet. Surely everyone can wait till all the ballots have been cast.

That's alright, Thursday mornings Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (leftist rag) didn't even have BUSH WINS as part of its headline on Thursday after Kerry Conceded... its headline was simply "BUSH CALLS FOR UNITY"... and they aren't biased....

Yea right... I don't recall Bubba's electoral wins having the headline of "CLINTON CALLS FOR UNITY"....


I don't mind a media source being biased, but dammit just be open and admit it! Instead of carrying the damn line that you are "one of america's great newspapers" when in fact you are just and old socialist hack publication.

The average whore on the streets of NYC probably has less diseases than the Pro Kerry Fudgepackers, who write for the NY Slimes and control what appears in each copy.

NewsMax should I.D. the "correspondent" who perpetrated the leaks. These SOBs tried to steal the election and need to be held accountable.

Agreed. There's enough information there --"a veteran New York Times U.N. correspondent of 30 years"-- that somebody in-the-know should be able to out this creep.

Looking at his "In Forum" page, I'm not sure he's a Troll.

But I do disagree with that post, certainly.
