The Washington Post is bad, but NOTHING is as bad as the New York Times. Have you read their editorials over the past couple of years? The paper has become downright shrill and sophomoric in its bitterness. It's embarrassing.
My, how the mighty have fallen.
You're very right, the Times has gotten downright desperate of late. Their lying has become so easy to see. Usually in the past they camouflaged it better.
