Subject:

NY Times errors, bias, editorial slant and overall contempt for the American way of life

Body:

It has come to my attention that your paper has not exactly been honest with us, the public.

In fact, it appears that you go out of your way to always take one side of an issue or story.

To that end - why *IS IT* that you have it in for Republicans and Conservatives in general?

Yet, you regularly give the mindless Hollywood elite a pass?

THANK YOU in advance for any honesty applied to this question in your answer.

New NYT motto:

"Close the door I'm trying to poop."

[Theodore R.]

All this makes one wonder why in the world would anyone subscribe to The New York Times. I'm sure its subscription rates are not cheap.

[TomGuy]

Maybe they hired Bagdad Bob to head their PR from now on and called this meeting to introduce him. Or perhaps they've hired Doris Kearns Goodwin to replace the journalist.

All the lies we'll fit to print.

21) Face it, We Just Like to Print!

The movie house adjacent to the NYT building is the perfect place for the meeting. Both are palaces of fantasy.

You can bet that after the session, white wine, brie and frog legs marinated in bourdelais sauce will be served as the staff settles in for a viewing of "Singing in the Raines".

Should we send our suggestions to forum@nytimes.com, or would that be too rude?

No bounce (back) from that address yet ...

It is about freekin' time that the Times is given an unanesthetized exploratory colonoscopy with three foot long Mag-light.

Rumor also has it that Blair was boy toy to the old white guys who run the rag.

[Great Dane]

#17........ LOL, guess someone decided to come up with a rant for any occation.

[Pubbie]

UHHHHHHHHHHHOHHHHHH... From Drudge:

"New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Rick Bragg said to be under the microscope from rival WASHINGTON POST, which is looking in to every aspect of his work, sources reveal...

Reporters and editors, furious at executive editor Howell Raines, have quietly started a 'work slow-down'..."

The Washingtont Post is going to attack the Times, and within the Times itself, there could be a full scale LIBERAL CIVIL WAR!

No wonder he's calling an emergency meeting, Mullah Howell must be feeling the crunch...

Who will be the first to be stoned by the Mad Mullah...

[goodnesswins]

LOL....I wonder how many really would like to do that!!! (And, I wonder how many newsrooms use FR already!)

[okie01]

"Knowing my folks, it must have been Life magazine where I saw it."

Life. Or it could have been Look, Collier's, Saturday Evening Post.

And it was, I believe, Bayer Aspirin.

Eason Jordan,
President of Newsgathering,

"No News To Print Unless It Is The Facts" (/wishful thinking)

[Travis McGee]

Question From the Floor: "Editor Boyd, were you sleeping with Blair? Is that why you kept covering up for him despite so many warnings?"
