This subject has been discussed on FR before. But the bias in the MSM remains the same, so I attack the subject again.

NYT doesnt want America to lose. It wants to sway public opinion against the current sitting party in power.

The Gray Lady has begun to experience deteriorating health. So sad that she's going out in much the same way as a humbled Dan Rather. Thanks to such people as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and, such media as the internet, the news that's fit to print is no longer determined by some incense burning, up-east bed-wetter.

Not all media is horrid. The subject of this article is my nephew and he is now back in Iraq on the ground. We're very proud of him and prayers are appreciated.
"Bringing up baby"
Father reunited with family after six-month deployment
Published Monday January 31 2005
By MICHAEL R. SHEA
The Beaufort Gazette
Six months ago Capt. Paul Jonathan Blair witnessed the birth of his third child, Avery Michelle, only to be sent to Japan for a training mission three days later.
After many long days and nights, Blair and eight Marine pilots of All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533 returned to American soil Sunday.

Wives and children, friends and family rushed the four F/A-18 Hornets as the last members of the Hawks climbed out of the two-man cockpit on the pavement at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

"He's been delayed two weeks, so my oldest keeps saying 'It's not today,' and today I'm saying, 'Yes, it is today!" said Myrnee Blair, with 6-month-old Avery Michelle in her arms and 2 year-old Paul Jonathan III grappling her leg, before the jets touched down. Three year-old Parker Camille Blair ran in circles around her mother and siblings.

Her husband spent the half-year based in Japan running training missions in Thailand, Hawaii, Australia and Guam.

Avery Michelle was born July 22.

"They do all kinds of training from the pilots to the mechanics. Air-to-air, air-to-ground and they always participate with the host countries," said Cpl. Mikah Sneed, with the station's public affairs office.

The rear party is always the last unit of the squadron to come home. On Jan. 21 the main body of the Hawks landed as the remaining Marines, all pilots, handled the administrative details, like closing out hotel accounts, Cpl. Sneed said.

Capt. Blair met his wife and children with a kiss. Avery Michelle looked at her father and broke into a laugh, despite the 30 degree wind.

"Where'd you get those tap shoes?" Blair asked 3-year-old Parker Camille.

"From my home," she responded, before wrapping her arms around her daddy's neck.

Blair takes a video camera on all his deployments.

"He'd video himself reading stories to the kids and send them to us. We're big picture, video people," Myrnee Blair said before her husband's F/A-18 touched down.

With three children under 4 years old, Myrnee enlisted help for the six months her husband was away.

"I ran home to my parents in Dallas. Big things always seem to happen when we have babies," she said. Paul Jonathan was born March 17, 2003, the day President Bush issued his ultimatum to Saddam Hussein.

This time around the family of five only has a few weeks to get reacquainted. Blair leaves for training in Virginia Beach on Feb. 28. "We're going to stay with him for two weeks," Myrnee said. "But then he's deployed back to Iraq."

The next deployment was the last thing on the captain's mind.

"It feels great to be home," he said.

The NYT does not view itself as an American newspaper, but rather as an international newspaper. Therefore, it intentionally eschews the American viewpoint, and tries to reflect the viewpoint of the rest of America's adversaries.

Tonight on Fox News discussion about the excellent economy (and Iraq) concluded that it is indeed a media problem. Good news about the economy or Iraq is ignored. The Times et al just do not want to say anything good about this administration. I don't recall Nixon being treated this poorly.

It is clear.

In my opinion...

The New York Times has the same agenda as the Terrorists in Iraq.

They want things to go badly. We all know what that means. Dead American soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

They would never admit as much, and I am sure that at a PERSONAL level they would not wish for those things. The problem is, at an ideological level, they long for those things.

With Liberals, ANY illusory, utopian end justifies the means, no matter what evil or bloody means that entails. They all view those "means" as the "price that must be paid" as a rationalization.

As in: "It is terrible that those men were killed, but...they shouldn't be there anyway, and maybe if more of them get killed the President will remove the troops or resign..."

Very nice and right on target.

I would also add the selective stories coming out of Iraq that are exclusively negative.

Our troops are doing some wonderful thing in Iraq. Our media is ignoring that daily, yes even the NYT.

The New York Times aka the old gray whore, is the enemy of America.

The civil discourse has ended and the next step may be civil war if Murtha/Pelosi/Kerry have their way.

A second Vietnam pacifist debacle will not be allowed. The rules change.

Well done. Yes, they are on the other side. Abu Graib got 38 days page 1 coverage. The last item the Slimes did likewise: Watergate. They and the Compost did not report Lieberman's comments. There is not enough time to recount their bias. They are traitors to the Fourth Estate and this country. May karma bite them in the butt in the biggest of ways...

It just depresses me to think that the TimesSelect has been so wildly successful that it will save the paper and prevent the layoffs of any employees.

I hope The Times is on the same side we should all be on. We are in a conflict that could and should have been avoided. We had Saddam in a vise with our military controlling the skies over Iraq, and as many weapon inspectors in his country as we wanted. He couldn't move a pea shooter without us knowing it. Saddam was looking for a way out and we turned a deaf ear to him. We could have won what we sought, now we could lose the entire Middle East.
We reap what we sow.

The point is that the Times, and many other media in the mainstream, are spending time wallowing in each individual death in this war, as never done in any prior war prior. Why?

Because the Times [editors and staff] feel they are losing the battle for the hearts and minds of the average American.

The Times wants to disuade at every chance the notion of individual freedom and self responsibility.

The Times supports an agenda of government socialism.

They are just simply pissed off their message 'isn't getting out'.

They abuse daily their responsibility to the truth in pursuit of their own agenda.

It hasn't been discussed enough. The NYT is not on our side in the war. They delight in stories like Abu Garaib. They love a month when our military recruitment goals aren't met. They are so slanted with criticism about any shortages of supplies or mistakes, they make me sick.

I wonder where the MSM were in the 1990s? From 1997-2001 I know personally that troops were continually deployed (mine went seven times in four years) to Saudi & Turkey to fly into harms way protecting the no-fly zone. Oh, and those WMDs.....why did our troops have to have anthrax vaccines before deploying.....if Saddam didn't have them, then what was the point?

So keep blasting them John.....maybe someday they will decide to support our side in this war.

The only logical answer is that the Times is on the other side in this war. Its publisher, editors, reporters want the United States to be defeated now.

Amen! Allow me to reiterate the stakes in this War on Terror.

VICTORY IN IRAQ IS A VITAL U.S. INTEREST
