I thought this exact idea several times during our current war against terrorism. The New York Times is especially guilty of aiding and abetting our enemies in our current war. They have gone far beyond reporting from a "different" perspective, but are guilty of printing total lies.
Well, look at the Boston Globe. They took pictures from a pornographic website and claimed that they were pictures of American soldiers raping Iraqis.
Is this really any different then what Toyko Rose was doing?
If your going to criticize the NY Times, then also criticize Ronald Reagan's own son. Look what Ron Reagan Jr said last January.

MSNBC Analyst Ron Reagan Jr. Accuses
Bush of Dementia
Ron Reagan Jr., on MSNBC Tuesday night, sure dispelled the notion of anyone who assumed that he is any kind of conservative of friend of a Republican President. Just past 11pm EST, Reagan, whose father suffers from Alzheimers disease, suggested that President George W. Bush has dementia. Reagan, whom MSNBC brought aboard to stand in front of a national map in order to discuss upcoming primaries, commented about how David Kay concluded that Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction. Reagan then sarcastically asked: What does George W. Bush say? Well, I still think they had them. Thats not just spin. Thats dementia, you know.
Reagan, a veteran of Fox News in its pre-FNC days, stood in front of the map, with a fire going in a fire place behind him, and commented a couple of times an hour about where the Democratic candidates may next battle it out. Just past 11pm EST, he opined on another topic:
You were talking about whos the best person to beat Bush. And one thing that you might want to consider is that politics is a contact sport. And if you ask any NFL player, theyll tell you it takes weeks to get used to the contact. So all these guys are out there, and theyre getting tough. Theyre taking shots, and theyre getting back up again. George W. Bush, on the other hand, is sitting in the Oval Office and hes getting soft.
Now, what happens when you go in the Oval Office is you start living in a bubble, you know, you dont read the paper anymore, you just listen to who you want to listen to. And were seeing that now. David Kay, for instance, comes out with a report and says Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction. What does George W. Bush say? Well, I still think they had them. Thats not just spin. Thats dementia, you know. So I dont get this. Im a little angry about this. Forgive me. It looks like my pants are on fire, by the way, Im so angry here, but its not true. Its just an optical illusion for those of you who might be concerned or perhaps hopeful.
the only way this will change is for NYT readership to undeniably plunge. The way one professor prohibited the use of Fox News, those of in positions as teachers and authority need to prohibit the use of the NYT. The gray lady is dead dead dead.
