This is great, they just can't get their foot out
of the pile of $%&* that they've stepped in.

I'll be more than happy to read every single one of these threads about anything disparaging to
The New York Times.
Keep them coming!

Here is the part that caught my eye:
The probe has widened to include graft. "They are worried about people breaking the strict code at the paper about accepting gifts," our spy said. "The masses of reporters are getting angrier by the moment because they were held to strict standards while several others obviously were not."
OK...who got paid off and by whom? My favorite would be Maureen Dowd paid off by the Rats via Michael Douglas.

Co-workers get the idea when they see someone pushing a cart filled with potted plants toward the elevator.

I still wonder about the two suicides from that newsroom.
Two at one paper seems awfully odd, even in a high-pressure profession.

This is what I thought would happen after that stupid meeting. Naive lower echelon people probably thought that something would change.
They are now beginning to see that the meeting was nothing but show, and now they are madder than they were before. Leaks a-plenty will start appearing over the next few weeks.
I am STILL convinced that there is something criminal that we are not seeing. Why wouldn't they assist in the prosecution of Blair for fraud? You would think if they were the victims they would like to really dump all the blame on him by making him a criminal.
But they put the quash on that idea right away. They didn't hold some talks with the prosecutor...they simply refused, basing it on First Amendment rights. That makes no sense at all, unless you are looking for a virtuous way to avoid having the feds investigate and discovering something else.

The best we can hope for is Howell Raines' head. Pray for that.

A typical commie ploy is to seem to loosen up so that dissenters will show their heads and be eliminated, like Castro's recent thing. That meeting to allow employees to "express their anger" may have been of that nature. Now the angry ones are finding greased skids. Loyalty is top priority for the left.

To: Mind-numbed Robot
Well, we could have BOTH things going on. I am certain that some people kept quiet in that meeting, although they are quite angry.
Firing the vocal people will only get those left even MORE angry.
You are quite correct that this is a tactic used by the left. Unfortunately for Howell Raines, there isn't a prison in which he can incarcerate dissenters.
To: Miss Marple
That makes no sense at all, unless you are looking for a virtuous way to avoid having the feds investigate and discovering something else.Or unless you are so utterly consumed by hatred for the Bush Administration that you are willing to let Blair keep publicly screwing you just to spite the (Bush) federal prosecutors. Or (more likely, IMO) you are so paralyzed by political correctness that you see any move you make against Blair as an automatic indictment of you as racist.
To: Miss Marple
They are now beginning to see that the meeting was nothing but show, and now they are madder than they were before.I would hope they figured that one out quick, like when it became known that Howell Raines wasn't going anywhere. What's interesting to me now is this - Blair's behavior has very rapidly gotten more and more bizarre and he's just about out of control. It's obvious to me now that this guy has had serious mental and/or emotional problems for quite some time, and I just wonder how big were the blinders that Raines and the rest of the NYT's management put on to avoid seeing this. That ignorance (probably deliberate) of Blair's instability is, to me, evidence of mismanagement that should be sufficient grounds for tossing Raines and his management toadies out the door.
To: ThreePuttinDude
Hmmmm, the New York Times, the New York Times...
Oh, THAT's right! They're the ones I see at the supermarket checkout line that are always running front page stories about Elvis, Bat Child and full-paging doctored pictures of the Devil mysteriously appearing in smoke clouds at this or that disaster.
Hey, I wonder if they fired her for revealing the new Bigfoot UFO Diet before publication.
After all, they have a reputation to uphold.

Howell Raines, along with Morris Dees, are the two sorriest men to ever come out of the state of Alabama.

Just my opinion, but the reason Blair's actions are becoming more bizarre is that the NYT, and his false expense-reports, are no longer paying for his coke habit.

Don't the people realize that the Times is not their friend? Welcome to the real world where people turn on other people.

We need you to work up a series of photos with Pinch, Raines, that style section chick and a few others including Blair. Then you can start "air brushing" out those that get flushed in the purges.
Get to work! lOL
