NY Times forced to use rivals' reporting
The American Thinker ^ | September 15, 2009 | William Tate

If the New York Times were, indeed, still the Gray Lady, she would be in therapy these days. The Times website was forced on Tuesday to link to a story by their competition, the New York Post. A story that was two weeks old.

In a report on Republicans' response to Democrat efforts to humiliate South Carolina representative Joe Wilson, the Times provided numerous links to their, and other Big Media, articles piling onto Wilson. When forced to report on Republican charges of wrong-doing by Charles Rangel, a congressman from their own home market, the Times apparently went through their trove of hard-hitting articles about Democrats' wrong-doing and produced, well, this story on Rangel by their cross-town rivals.

Likewise, when forced to refer to investigations into allegations of potential violations by John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania), the Times went to the vault and produced this article... by the Chicago Sun-Times.

'All the news that's fit to print'? Then why do folks have to read about it elsewhere?

lol.

Charlie Rangel heads the Committee that writes tax law. He is a tax cheat.

In any halfway normal media outlet this would be a juicy story that would last for days and days.

But the left media is silent.

Can’t hire reporters if the bottom line is bleeding red.

It's probably due to the refinancing deals that Pinch had to make... the Government gets to release secrets first now.

Investigative reporting is made from... well, places like this.

The NY Post loves to tease the NY Times, this would make for a great editorial.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Times Co (NYT.N) shares fell on Tuesday after the company agreed to a pricey $250 million loan from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim that it will use to repay debt coming due in May. The agreement, announced on Monday night, is for 6-year unsecured notes with a 14-percent interest rate, with 11 percentage points paid in cash and 3 percentage points in accrued interest. They are high risk.

Punky needs to sell the 1200 acre family estate and the Hampton's Beach house near Tiger. Ge is too selfish.
