Just announced by Fox News. Raines and Boyd have resigned from the NY Slimes.

[Grampa Dave]

This is a good start!

[goodnesswins]

Lets see who they replace them with.....

[ken5050]

REsignations accepted?...I thought Pinch said he wouldn't take them....and with a HUGE severance, no doubt..

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Keep it comin', keep it comin'...we need more...

[Lazamataz]

WOW! This is HUGE! Very serious!

[Guillermo]

They're really going to have to come up with some exceptionally diverse replacements, to pay for their sins.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Just window dressing in an attempt to stay alive. Ignore it the same as you would Hillary's book.

Executive Editor of The Times and Top Deputy Step Down
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Times Executive Editor Howell Raines and Managing Editor Gerald Boyd resigned on Thursday in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal.

"This is a day that breaks my heart," Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger told staffers at a morning newsroom meeting.

The Times announced that Joseph Lelyveld, the paper's former executive editor, has been named interim executive editor, assuming the responsibilities held by Raines.

Sulzberger thanked Raines and Boyd for putting the interests of the newspaper first. The Blair scandal was not mentioned at Thursday morning's staff meeting, but the case had begun a weeks-long period of turbulence at the Times.

Score one for the good guys. Maybe. I reserve judgement until I learn more about this Joe Lelyveld fellow. It would not be surprising if Raines and Boyd are merely sacrificial lambs as a result of their infamy, and are being replaced by another who is less know but just as driven by the "progressive" (translation: statist) agenda.

[Grampa Dave]

You and I think too much alike?

The first thing through my mind was how much will their settlements and separation packages be?

[Lazamataz]

They're really going to have to come up with some exceptionally diverse replacements, to pay for their sins.

A black handicapped lesbian blind Wiccan woman would do the trick.

[kylaka]

What a bunch of prevaricating punks. Krugman should be next.

[Grampa Dave]

Absolutely. This is no different that when Saddam was in power and he executed a couple of generals.

Everything stays the same.

[b4its2late]

Good News!

[Lazamataz]

Hillary to be appointed CEO of NYT?

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the hard copy!

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Of course, this has nothing to do with the recent resignations and fabrications. They just want to spend more time with their "families."
