NYTimes: We Won't Publish "Statements that Were Never Intended for the Public Eye."
Weekly Standard ^ | November 22, 2009 | Michael Goldfarb

This is the position of the New York Times when given the chance to publish sensitive information that might hinder the liberal agenda.

Its time, the NYT is going down. The NYT we receive here in FL is about the size of the NY Daily News opened. We can’t even get a weeks worth of use in the parrot cage.

Their reasoning is , Palin’s such a publicity hound, everything she does is intended for the public eye.

Set the cage out on the balcony. The parrot should like that. Lots of smells, noises, stuff.

Besides, he's probably as bothered by the NYT's propaganda as you are. Parrots are, after highly intelligent and sensitive beings.

That's just naked partisanship covered by the world's smallest fig leaf.

I didn't think the NYT could shock me with its bias anymore, but I have to say the boldness of this drivel does surprise me.

NYTimes: We Won’t Publish “Statements that Were Never Intended for the Public Eye.”

Or report on a Democrat VP candidate’s sexcapades (Breck Boy!)

Btw, the NYT endorsed Mondale over Reagan in 1984, which kinda tells you all you need to know, ya know?

C’mon, they’re just trying to be fair. Why should they be any harder on Obama than they were on Stalin 70 years ago?

What grotesque hypocrites they've proven themselves to be.

Even their liberal readers have to recognize the hypocrisy in this statement.

And they say it with a straight face.

Unbelievable the lies they think they can get away with.

Wonder what Clark (the Liar) Hoyt will have to say?
