That is MUCH closer to the truth, but it is also of little consequence.....Nail / Head.

NYT editor responds to McCain camp broadside
Michael Calderone:
NY Times executive editor Bill Keller responded, in an e-mail to Politico, to Steve Schmidt's contention that the paper is pulling for Obama, and that "it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization."
"The New York Times is committed to covering the candidates fully, fairly and aggressively. It's our job to ask hard questions, fact-check their statements and their advertising, examine their programs, positions, biographies and advisors. Candidates and their campaign operatives are not always comfortable with that level of scrutiny, but it's what our readers expect and deserve."
I think that covers it accurately. In The Matrix, The One was a means our overlords used to control us and the mechanism for the near eradication of all free humans.

Bill Keller, the executive editor of the New York Times, sat on a couch in the Oval Office of the White House, three feet from President George W. Bush, and listened.
For a meeting without historical precedent, the president of the United States had called the Times to the White House to personally try to prevent a state secret from appearing in print—an exposé of the National Security Agency’s efforts to monitor phone calls without court-approved warrants that the Times had held back on for over a year. Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. sat in a wing chair facing Bush, while Keller and Washington bureau chief Philip Taubman sat across from Bush’s lawyer, Harriet Miers, and national-security adviser Stephen Hadley. General Michael Hayden, the then-director of the National Security Agency, sat alongside Bush with a thick briefing book in his lap.
After stiff pleasantries, Bush issued an emphatic warning: If they revealed the secret program to the public and there was another terrorist attack on American soil, the Paper of Record would be implicated. “The basic message,” recalls Keller, “was, ‘You’ll have blood on your hands.’ ”
The meeting lasted an hour. Afterward, Sulzberger and Keller stood outside the White House. Undaunted by the president’s logic and his threats, Keller told Sulzberger, “Nothing I heard in there changed my mind.” Sulzberger agreed.
Eleven days after the meeting with Bush, the Times defied the president; the story, by James Risen and Eric Lichtblau, was headlined bush lets u.s. spy on callers without courts. That same day, the USA Patriot Act was blocked in the Senate.

Meanwhile, the very business of selling newspapers is falling apart. The Web has gnawed away at the Times’ ad revenue, and as the cost of newsprint soars, the newspaper itself is literally shrinking.

The only truthful fact at the NYT is sequential page numbering.
Yeah, they haven’t been pulling for Obummer, no really! Any day they are going to investigate Black Whiteguilt Oblack’s connection to Fannie Mae.

The New yObama Times speaks.

Just thought of something: NY Slimes is pro-leftist for two reasons: cheap labor, and for the paper’s elites to hobnob with other effete snobs....
It gives lip service to working men and women while screwing them royally; it exults leftist politicians because that gets them connections to the other leftist politicians around the world who would otherwise ignore this fishwrap paper..so basically it gave up journalistic principal for the sake of political and economic expediency...But the NY Times has lost the way so much that is has landed in the gutter...So now instead of yellow journalism we have gutter journalism as shoveled out by your pretentious, rotten, foul smelling journalists..and we get: All the News that’s fit to wrap the fish in...
There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the rôle of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds . . . Theodore Roosevelt
Big Journalism, and certainly not least The New York Times, makes its living by criticizing. And "liberal" Democrats do the same. Naturally they are simpatico!
Audio of McCain campaign manager giving it to the NYT!
At least Pravda has always been on Russia's side, can't say that for the Old Gray Whore.
I don’t know. I think she’s always been on the Marxist side.
Front page interested me, so I picked it up and headed for the check out.
I stopped to check the price.... 4.50 !!!
Back to the rack it went!
I'm pretty sure they were pro-Republican back in Lincoln's day.
But they've been pro-Marxist since at least the early 1930's when Walter Duranty was covering up Stalin's genocide.
I remember the jokes!
O... U... C... H... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, I didn’t realize the going rate these days.
Yeah, scumbags, like you've ever done any real vetting of Obama.... let's see, you put wildly unverified allegations of a McCain "affair" with a lobbyist right on your front page (I don't believe it happened and you scumbags never provided any evidence that it happened).... and you regularly run the most asinine vicious hit-jobs against McCain and Palin..... but you journalistic reptiles can never trouble yourselves to examine the most obvious and troubling questions about Obamessiah's beliefs, biography, advisers, friends, associates, Chicago career, total lack of political accomplishment, etc. etc.
