Are you saying don’t look for a stock split in the near future?

Quite the contrary. At the rate the NY Slimes' stock is going south, a reverse split might soon be all the news that's fit to print.

“and sometimes blurred the line between government and personal grievance...”

Says the NY Times as an Obama Loyalist in the Alaska Legislature conducts a so-called investigation of Sarah.

If Sarah were a Catholic, the stuff the NYT dug up wouldn’t add more than 5 minutes to her canonization process. Buchanan said it right: “it’s not what she’s done, but what she is” that ticks them off.

And klinton fired all U.S. Attorneys with nary a peep from the NYT. Hilary stole 900 FBI files with nary a peep from the NYT.

“And klinton fired all U.S. Attorneys with nary a peep from the NYT. Hilary stole 900 FBI files with nary a peep from the NYT.”

Exactly. I have a friend who thinks the NYT is the most credible newspaper in the country. Frustrating.

while she was mayor city employees were told not to talk to the press.

My company has a policy that explicitly prohibits employees from discussing company matters with the press, even when not at work. The rationale is obvious, you can also find someone inside a big company who will say anything, whether fact, fantasy or opinion. You have right to free speech, you don't have a right to a job. Sometimes you gotta choose.

They did fire a vice president who critized the Navy (not the company) in a public forum. The guy now works for one of those "public interest" think tanks and occassionaly appears on Sunday morning talking heads forums, when they need someone who will reliably needle the defense industry and the military.

And why not? He’s a sewer rat, and all his actions, motivations, and directives prove it.

"The MSM remind me of some of those chase scenes on shows like “COPS”, "

I enoyed your comparison very much.

Liberals are still attacking Palin and ignoring McCain.

If liberals ever went hunting, they would shoot the doe standing next to a B&C record buck.

"Throughout her political career, she has pursued vendettas, fired officials who crossed her and sometimes blurred the line between government and personal grievance,

Good for her. She's my kind of reformer, the "take no prisoners" kind.

Go for the jugular, Sarah, and eliminate anyone that gets in the way of your mission!

Finally, someone who will not be intimidated or bought.

Yeah... MSM and the Times never looked at Travel Gate. The Clinton Administration not only fired these people but brought up charges against them. (Way to go Hillary....)

How many lives did they destroy in that little escapade so that they could bring in the Thompsons.(?) The MSM certainly never went to Billy Dale to ask his side of the story.

They'd run.

Pictured below are the NY Slimes Sara Haters posing as oped writers. All of them are clones of Jayson Blair, the drugged out homosexual, who never wrote anything that was the truth.

/>

Here is something, we can all do this week to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation.

We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies which buy and own NY Slimes stock. We will improve our precious investment capital being wasted on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the vile NY Slimes acts like their trashing of Sarah Palin.

Please send this simple "how to" to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more.

INSTRUCTIONS FROM Grampa Dave:

 

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the NY Slimes Stock

 

 

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/ownership?Symbol=NYT http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/ownership/ownership.asp

When the MS Money stock home page comes up, enter NYT into the search area and hit enter and the following screen will show up re ownership of the NY Slimes stock:

The New York Times Company: Ownership Information

  • Shares Outstanding 145.00 Mil

  • Institutional Ownership (%) 83.40

  • Top 10 Institutions (%) 58.60

  • Mutual Fund Ownership (%) 42.64

  • 5%/Insider Ownership (%) 7.77

  • Float (%)

Highlight the Mutual Fund Ownership and hit enter.

If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:

  1. Sell those mutual funds or trade them for funds not owning NYT.

  2. Send a letter to the fund managers and the CEO's of the mutual fund company telling them why you sold/transferred their mutual fund owning NY Slimes stock. Then demand to know why they are wasting your precious $'s on a lie based fishwrap company which is a terrible investment.

  3. Contact the SEC to investigate why this mutual fund and mutual fund company invested your $'s in one of the worse investments of the past 2 years. Was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes.

  4. Send this how to re Mutual Funds with NYT stock to everyone on your email list for a wakeup call.

We might have a lot more impact than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.

So Sarah Palin plays hardball. Wow. Sounds like she passes the FIRST test for being POTUS.

So, America, after reading that, who do you want across the table from Putin: Palin or Obama?

The unstated divide in this election is that 40% of the country want a President who is therapist-in-chief, 40% want a President who will kick the asses of the bad guys. And the rest will decide the race based on what they dreamed the night before the election.

Sounds like a description of the Chicago politcal scene when the crooks who run Chicago and Illinois are trying to be nice.

I have a buddy who says that eventually the media will come around, but I don’t think they will.
Actually, they can't. Their business model requires that the public buy assumption that journalism is objective - but it also requires that journalism function as a special interest which needs, and actually manufactures, bad news. And the public is beginning to notice . . .

Thanks for posting those links.

If the MSM had any sense of fairness, or even a modicum of commonsense, the “banned book” discussion would be over, and maybe even apologies issued.

However, the media has whipped themselves into a demented frenzy; they really can't help themselves.

Their collective dementia is now so severe that they don't even realize that this kind of coverage is so lopsided, so grotesque that it's hurting, not helping, Obama.
