Gossip and eavesdropping are crucial newsroom skills?
The problem is that flooding the zone, and competitive metabolism (another Raines favorite), while good catchphrases, are not necessarily where the papers strengths lie, which is in deciding the national news agenda, declaring what is important.
Nice to see that this is acknowledged in black and white. These gossipy, in-fighting, shallow peoople, some of who are drug abusers, are deciding what is important for the entire national news industry. My, that gives me such a feeling of confidence.
For example, we now have confirmation that Maureen Dowd is one of the inner circle.
And I am puzzled by the claim that Raines was anti-Clinton. Their editorials, as I remember them, were basically "this is bad, but he should be president anyway."
I am batting two for two on remembering sources. More coffee definitely needed!
Anyway, this is quite the revealing article. Take a look and tell me what you think.
n. A bully.
v. hec·tored, hec·tor·ing, hec·tors
v. tr. To intimidate or dominate in a blustering way.
v. intr. To behave like a bully; swagger.
Gosh, that doesn't sound like the way a Freeper would act, does it?
The Times is so rife with arrogant political correctness it makes me gasp.
Whatever you do, please do not fail to miss the connection between liberals' PC atrocity, hate crimes laws and the implications for restraining free speech. It's crystal clear that hate crime laws and PC cause social chaos and invite massive crimes against the culture, and protect liars as in the Times-Blair fiasco.
PC and hate crime laws have outlived their usefulness and must be abolished. They are this era's moral equivalent of Prohibition. Prohibition was necessarily repealed b/c it caused social chaos and a crime wave. Via Blair, we are now seeing the devastation wrought upon America due to hate crimes laws and PC.
The fact is astute conservatives have always seen right through these self-serving liberal phonies and their arrogant use of PC and hate crimes laws to stifle criticism.
The problem, like so many other of society's self-described "tolerant and compassionate types," is that their ego-driven "sense of entitlement" is so outsized and demanding that they cannot stand to have a discouraging word spoken about themselves.....thus they engage in the political correctness atrocity which abhors criticism.
Liberals revive the spectre of a despised monarchy (that a Revolutionary War displaced), by setting themselves apart from the commoners, and demanding to be coddled and cosseted at every moment.
Marie Antoinette's infamous, "Let 'em eat cake," is the moral equivalent of contemporary liberals' sense of entitlement which thay extort by political correctness and enforcing hate crimes laws. Liberals have indeed become a worthless class of whiners.
These self-absorbed liberal humanoids, like the conniving Clintons, with their exaggerated sense of entitlement, demand the common folk kneel in obeisance and comply whenever they indicate their wishes. Never forget that when commoners dared speak up about the Clintons crimes, Marie-Antoinette-Hitlery demonized them, and publicly labeled them a VRWC. This was political correctness in its lowest form.
To restore our culture to its former dignity as a representative lawful democracy, we must outlaw PC and hate crimes laws.
Thank you for the flag.
Bump!
Bump and thanks for the post.
It was the most depressing and humiliating thing, said one Metro reporter. Its not the kind of thing youd think youd go through because of the Times.
A great example of Freepers reaching out and touching lunatic libs with humor and grim reality. The lying lunatic libs who pander and lie for the Ny Slimes will remember this touching moment all of their miserable lives.
Love, love, love it. Imagine? Piercing the arogance of the NY Slimes .....and by a Freepr, no less.
The thing I can't understand is how you made it to NYC to hold the sign, Gramps. LOL.
Salute!
