I’m still thinking NYT is nothing more than a website in this case.
If Manning sent the info to HuffPo, DU, Salon, or Politico the end result would have been exactly the same.
This isn’t the 1970s anymore.
The NYT still has enormous influence. Newpaper editors around the country run with the stuff the Times publishes as do TV and cable networks. I don’t like the fact that the “Gay Mafia” at the NYT has so much pull, it just does and will continue to do so for the immediate future anyway.
Bernie Goldberg detests the Times but he sees it the same way.
We deceived ourselves into thinking that the “new media” would overcome the “old media” in 2008 and the result was a huge win for the left.
