Talk To The Newsroom - The McCain Article.

...The Times has received more than 2,000 comments, many of them criticizing the handling of the article. Editors and reporters who worked on the article will be answering questions on Friday. Please send yours to askthetimes@nytimes.com.

I know that Freepers will have some very good questions for the "professionals" at the NY Times.

Have fun, folks!

I asked them when they were going to do a front page story on Obama’s gay/drug fling in a limo with some white guy.

“Dear NYTimes Reporters and Editors:

I have knowledge from an unnamed source that male members of the NYTimes staff have been seen at parties wearing lacy underthings.

Could you run this on the front page of your paper?

Sincerely,
RWI”

I used to work in NYC, and heard rumors that Keller was engaging in toe tapping exercises in the mens room at Penn Station. I am wondering whether this “story” will be reported.

“Did you guys secretly rehire Jayson Blair and not tell anyone?”

[tgslTakoma]

LOL! I was thinking something similar. I wonder if the NY Times only hires liars and mental misfits to write stories for them?

[Let's Roll]

Don’t forget to ask why, even if true, this is such a big deal - we were certainly told “it’s only sex” and “everyone does it” when bubba was the doer.

Mission Accomplished!

I would like to know, since when has the NYTimes entered into the super market tabloid news business?

I always knew that your newspaper was a traitorous tabloid rag, printing intelligence secrets that could get our troops injured or worse, killed. All in the name of the God Almighty Liberal agenda with a visceral hatred of President Bush.

Your newspaper disgusts me!

Please note: The rest of the country is not a disgusting “Socialist Stronghold”, known as Manhattan. One would think that after 9-11 your paper would realize that “Loose lips sink ships”!

Don’t know about the toe tapping, but ten years ago he left his wife and married his pregnant mistress. Does that work for you?

My email to the Times.

Dear Times:

My question concerns the timing of this article, we all knew back in December you had something, but you decided to wait till the primaries were decided before you released the article. The timing seems horribly suspect that you released in time for the general election so that it could be used to help the Democrats.

If you had released it back in December when you first had it, it would of helped Romney which I feel is the reason you held onto it.

It’s actions like these that are the reason that print media is in such decline, your editors and reporters are so biased that it’s painfully obvious to the general public, this is the reason that we no longer trust the Times to give us honest news, you only print the news that fits your ideology, and slant everything to fit the picture you want to see.

Now, Obama has been accused of far more egregious actions yet you refuse to print that, even though there is far more evidence than there was with Senator McCain, heck, you printed rumor and wild guesses with no shred of proof or evidence and you wonder why we don’t trust you anymore and why you’re bleeding cash.

The Old Grey Lady has gone senile it seems, and you’ve done nothing more than to whore her out to your own slanted ideology, and that’s the saddest part.

Question: How much better does the Times pay than your old stint at the National Enquirer?

[dashing doofus]

I think that story should be part of the larger Keller story, just like they went back to the 80s and the Keating Five scandal in the McCain hit piece.

They should first cover the toe-tapping allegations, then run thru the divorce and his infidelities, for the sake of journalistic integrity.

[Froufrou]

I got a ‘host could not be found’ error edit. I knew they didn’t give a rat’s patooti what the sheeple think! I said:

To the staff and editors,

Please allow me to remind you of the five basic components of Journalism. They are: who, what, when, where and why. Traditionally, if all five of these questions cannot be answered within a single piece of written reporting, the reporter has failed the assignment.

Without a doubt, you either believe that the only thing that matters is that you sell your rag or you are unethical morons. What is the company motto, “when in doubt make it up?”

I would bet your next payroll that you haven’t the stones to retract but it would be an utter waste of time, rather like this luxurious venting which I have so thoroughly enjoyed.

The joke’s on you.

How often are your reporters screened for hallucenogenic drugs?

[tobyhill]

Did all your reporters graduate from the Dan Rather’s School of Journalistic Integrity?

[Doctor Raoul]

Jayson Blair Lives!

[Enchante]

Dear NY Times,

I have two anonymous sources who say that Pinch Sulzberger diddles little boys when he is not busy ‘doing’ Bill Keller, Howell Raines, or Jaysun Blair.

Let’s expect to see this ‘story’ on the front page of your fishwrap soon.

[phillyfanatic]

Excellent. Any , any story decrying Hillary or Obama would be welcome. The skeletons in their closets must be filled wit choice statements at least on policy issues which really reflect their socialist pacifist tripe. If only the liberal nutters would really be patriotic, they would fear the Messiah’s obvious foreign policy inanities.
