Protest Against The New York Times (Mentions Free Republic July 3 protest)
The National Ledger ^ | 07-02-06 | Cliff Kincaid

What motivates the New York Times to publish information that helps the enemy kill Americans? It is the central question because, in the final analysis, Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and his editors and reporters are Americans, too. This is a paper based in a city that lost almost 3,000 citizens on 9/11.

The next time the terrorists strike, the Times and its employees could be incinerated. The next time we are hit by al Qaeda, Times employees could be jumping out of windows to their deaths. But the paper decided that it’s better to risk another terrorist attack on America than withhold information that might help prevent another attack. What accounts for such a strange view about the value of human life? Why has this paper turned its back on the absolute necessity of protecting the lives of our fellow Americans?

The Times building is actually on 43rd St.

Man, I was wondering what they were doing with all those wax statues of Michael Jackson and Tom Cruise...

Ok - now I see what you're saying. I looked at the other thread I referenced, and that point is made over there, too. Thanks.

The Times was directly across the street from one of the great bars in NYC. 43rd hasn't been the same since they shut the place down...

Maybe he will post the picture and show where his security cameras are too...all in the spirit of equal reporting!

I won't hold my breath waiting!

Hi 3-D! Wish I was in on this FReep! I have an idea that it's going to be just the beginning of a long hot summer for the blame-America-first, left-wing seditionists in the "drive-by-media".

The bar where the New York Daily News guys hung out on the east side was called Costello's. Above the bar was John O'Hara's walking stick smashed by Earnest Hemingway in a fit of, well, being Hemingway.

Thanks for the link to the article about Gough's Saloon. It was a great read.

Great story. One of the biggest disappointments I ever had was the first time I visited Key West - NOTHING like I pictured it to be - ditto for "Sloppy Joe's Bar". LOL Travel really is broadening.

It's the obit of NYC media. I closed Gough's many, many nights. From eleven until..? at night there'd be great raging political (and sports) debates between reporters, editors, press guys, drivers, and basically whoever walked in off the street. And every once in awhile there'd be a fist fight with drunken middle-aged, out of shape guys rolling around on the filthy floor trying to beat the hell out of each other.

Same was true for Costello's.

This isn't ancient history, either. I remember this stuff in the mid and late 1980s.

Then everything turned nice and everyone was too polite to debate or disagree.

Excellent point. How about some Citizen Journalism on that??..Maybe an FR special!

The pendulum is beginning to swing back in the direction of men being men again. The backlash has begun against this wishy-washy feminized society.

It isn't a question of men being men, it's a question of too much money in the media. If you're a reporter at a paper earning six figures with a house, mortgage, car payments, etc. etc. you're going to protect your job -- not make any waves, "be a good boy," monitor how much you drink and what you say in front of co-workers and the boss. On the other hand, if you're a reporter circa 1980s, making $50,000 a year living in an crammed apartment and your skills allow you to get a job the next month, then you might just throw a beer in your editor's face because he's a jerk and doesn't know what the hell is going on out in Bed-Stuy or the lower east side.

People in the media are so afraid of losing their jobs they've forgotten what the jobs were about in the first place.

Sounds like many of those House Republicans we sent to DC in 1994!

Sounds like many of those House / Senate Republicans we sent to DC in 1994 and thereafter!
