When the NYT started selling off real estate few years back, that was a sign the internal books looked bad, and that things were going southward.
And speaking of the NYT's books. Anybody check those lately? }}}}}} enronenronenronenron {{{{{{
I prefer: "All the News that Fits Our Views". :=)
Anybody with something negative to say about Republicans has a regular berth at 60 Minutes.
And then there was Jayson Blair-----the journo con artist to end all journo con artists.
Guy wrote stories datelined other states while sitting in NY coffee shops.
I watched the Bush/Leherer interview yesterday and the first five questions were about the NSA story. At some point when Bush got tired of repeating that he couldn't comment directly on the story and tried to get Leherer to move on Leherer commented that the NSA story was the top news of the day. Bush looked at him incredulously and said No, the Iraqi election was.
Bush booked that interview with the Newshour weeks in advance, and the MSM knew it was going to take place. He was prepared to talk about the Iraqi election confident the news would be good. IMO the NSA story was designed to mitigate the good news regarding Iraq. It does not surprise me the Times had the story for three months and decided to run it the day after the Iraqi election.
The Old York Times Motto-If Bush Bleeds, it Leads! This is nothing but a Book Promotion!
To think that they bumped the Historic Iraqi Elections for this tripe is unfathomable.
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Shucks, you forgot the "Howlin Rains"....he'd be mad if he knew.
You got that right..........Raines'd be madder than a wet hen.....LOL.

The Times is in trouble. Again. That works for me. I'm so glad to read this, kayak. Thanks for the ping.
"When the NYT started selling off real estate few years back, that was a sign the internal books looked bad, and that things were going southward."
I believe that you were the first Freeper Birdy to inform us about the Slimes selling off their real estate.
Hopefully some republican activist group that buys stocks will ask the SEC for a full monitoring of their Enron Books.
Yes, not only did it mitigate the good news regarding Iraq, but it also conveniently provides a smoke screen so that the Sunday talk shows will focus entirely on this story" and not the success of the election.
The NYT's worst nightmare-----getting their books audited.
OOO, MY GOOOD! FOR REAL? NY TIMES REVEILING NSA SECRETS TO OUR ENEMIES! GET OUT!
