Gray Lady Down
Trust: The so-called mainstream media in general and The New York Times in particular are waging a relentless campaign undermining the war on terror.
The Fourth Estate is beginning to look like a Fifth Column. It's hard to imagine a major American newspaper in 1942 announcing before the Battle of Midway that we had broken the Imperial Japanese code or before D-Day that the Allies had a machine that let us read the Nazis' highest-level transmissions. Yet in the war on terror, that's exactly the kind of information that papers like the Times and The Washington Post, in the name of the "people's right to know," have provided our jihadist enemy — from stories on secret CIA prisons where our mortal enemies are held to wiretaps on al-Qaida operatives and their U.S. contacts.
Where was the defense of the "people's right to know" when the issue was who "revealed" the name of CIA desk jockey Valerie Plame and her Bush-bashing, mint tea-drinking husband, Joe Wilson? Then the issue was who was placing our covert agents in jeopardy and who should be indicted and sent to federal prison. But when it comes to the Post disclosing classified information on CIA prisons, which we hope exist, or the Times telling the world that the CIA uses its own airline service, disguised as a private charter company, to move prisoners around, hey, that's Pulitzer Prize material.

Mark Belling (filling in for Rush) was all over this today.
It was GREAT
I don't think the 1st Amendment protects the right to reveal national secrets and publish enemy propaganda during a time of war. But then again, I'm not a lawyer.
More like Fifth Columnist at the New York Times and Washington Post.
Let's see: win a Pulitzer, or....what? There are no repercussions for printing state secrets, so why not?
The NYT hopes we lose the war, and they are doing everything in their power to assure that we do.
The gray lady is the whore of the democrat liberal effiminates.
Today's ultra liberal media needs a good dose of communist, socialist or nationalist censorship and abuse to appreciate their true rights and understand their responsibility to the nation, the readers and the newspaper, not to their own careers.
I caught a little of this today during my lunch break from work. I really look forward to continueing back-lash against the NYTimes, and the liberal media who are now openly siding with the terrorists.
Time to follow Honest Abe and lock up a few of the more egregious domestic enemies...
Perhaps the survivers of the next victims of a terrorists attack in NY City will sue the NYTimes for giving aide and comfort to the enemy, and assisting the terrorists to attack citizens of this country.
Im with you Laverne.
They are openly siding with the enemy and they just dont get it.
They are srapped up in their petulant frenzy that they cant see the precarious position they are in.
Oh, they get it. I truly believe at this point that the NYTimes wants another attack in the country for the sole purpose of blaming Bush and in helping Hillary get the White House. I know that sounds cynical, but cynical is certainly how I'm feeling these days. The people who published this story should be in jail NOW.
DEAD MAN WALKING!
Any company who continues to advertise in the NYTimes is equally culpable. I'm surprised they haven't pulled their ads yet, and hope they do so soon. You are with us or you are against us, and the NYTimes is clearly againt us.
Mainstream American Media are the deadliest enemy in the Global War on Terror. Period.
If they are this desperate, we must be winning.
Some Freeper needs to list the companies who buy 1 page ads on a regular basis with the NY Slimes. Then we can start putting pressure on those companies and their boards.
That ain't no lady.
