This past Wednesday, the New York Times took the opportunity to praise their photographers and included the photo below by Joao Silva. The photo's caption reads: "A sniper loyal to Shiite cleric Moqtada al Sadr fires towards U.S. positions [emphasis added ours] in the cemetery in Najaf, Iraq." Following that was this critque by Michelle McNally: "Right there with the Mahdi army. Incredible courage." (Click on image to enlarge and to view the rest of slideshow.)

There is no courage by the photographer. He knows that US troops won't target him, though they should.
How about death to Moqtada al Sadr and his running dog lackeys.
Um.. "Sedition for $100, Alex...."
No.
Sorry, but I didn't think there was any lingering doubt about the answer to that question except among the most obtusely liberal anti-American Americans.
No, they are not.
The question is not whether the NYT is on our side - of course they're not. It's what are we gonna do about it?
Nah. They think they're oh so sophisticated, patriotism is vulgar don't you know, they're citizens of the world.
That's like asking if Al Jazeera is on our side.
No.
That's better.
Does 2 + 2 = 5?
I don't really care if the NY Times is on our side. I do not need the NY Times, or its opinions. I wouldn't read it if it was free.
For some interesting background on the Times, see Freeper/writer Fedoras article.
OPINION: No sir, they are not.

the NY Slime's reporting sickens me...that the only suffering the company will incur is either job and/or revenue loss, sickens me more.
