The Grey Lady sold her soul long ago and became a banshee...how refreshing to see the world get a glimpse of the real corruption and rot behind the NYT.

And the hastily called town hall meeting, on May 14, hadnt helped, with its gauntlet of news cameras, reporters, and a hectoring man in a Saddam Hussein mask and well-worn loafers carrying a sign announcing FORMER NYT REPORTER, WILL LIE FOR FOOD. It was the most depressing and humiliating thing, said one Metro reporter.

Raines went relentlessly after Bill Clinton on his editorial pageJust double-checking.... This is a lie, right?

I like this, the last line:
'"Youre sitting in the room with giants in the business, said the reporter. "It was mortifying.'
It is better left to posterity to name the giants in the business. Thinking that you working and hobnobbing with giants is a bit grandiose. That kind of attitude will creep into the reportage.

Theres this atmosphere of immaturity. Theres a lot of laughter over silly things. Its the way he uses football metaphors. Its almost like hes brought down the dignity of the place. Hes taken away this self-image people have built up over decades.Man, that went away long ago. The Old Gray Whore is just another big-city DNC mouthpiece, with no "dignity" left.

The black reporters are really angry, says one reporter. Because Blair opened the door to the idea that maybe they didnt deserve to be there.Then these "black reporters" are nincompoops. Blair didn't open that door - - that door has been wide open for decades, kicked off its hinges by "affirmative action", Democrat style.

Hmmmmm, bald-faced liars versus dirty liars versus sneaky liars, all of whom worship the King of Liars. This is starting to get confusing.
I would trade them all for a good old-fashioned honest liar.
Baghdad Bob, the New York Times needs you to bring integrity back to their badly soiled news staff!

Just double-checking.... This is a lie, right? "[W]ent relentlessly after Bill Clinton" means "Raines humped X42's leg."

A precocious kid from suburban Washington, D.C., hed written for his high-school newspaper and many letters to the local papers.Oh, but of course. Write a little (and not particularly well) for your high school newspaper, get some letters to editors published, and you're ripe and ready for the Times!
More AA damage control, this time more subtle than the others.

"But that's partly because he's a total cokehead," said a friend. "It's totally why he picked Boyd, and he's not the best person for the job," says one well-placed Timesman.
"Its totally a boys' club," says one veteran.
"He'd keep the company car for weeks at a time. He'd take one and be gone for a month. There were like two in Metro."
These "Timesmen" speak like doped-out Malibu surfers. Dude, like totally.
