Ahhh, nice to see the Washington Post twist the knife in a liberal organization, for a change.

Confusion to the enemy.

The consensus is slowly shifting. The New York Times, once indisputably "one of the world's great newspapers," has fallen from that eminence due to relentless opinion-mongering presented as news and more than a little deceit and fabrication in place of journalism.

It's the end of an era. In some ways that's sad; when the Times was trustworthy -- meaning that it distinguished rigidly between reporting and opinion, and policed its writers adequately -- it really was a good read and a terrific source of news. But it's not sad that an organ that inherited the patina of those days, but did not deserve to retain it, should be relegated to the back benches of American journalism.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,
