How stupid does the NYT think its readers are?
Judging from this, I'd say pretty stupid.
I think you answered your own question.....
There's part of me that doesn't even think this is just manipulation anymore.
I think the NYTimes is feeding its base. Give the rabid packs pieces of Bush to tear apart, even if there is nothing at all there. Just some reason to complain, to say, "Bush bad!"
Or maybe the writers just like to see how negative they can get. Whatever the case, the Old Gray Hag presses on.
