Total Dysfunction at the New York Times

The New York Times's publication of two classified anti-terrorist programs and the Times's nose-in-the-air defense of its actions have inflamed conservative anti-media passions to a temperature not reached since Watergate. Michael Barone - who was fair and balanced before Fox News was born - put it in perspective. Barone compared NYT executive editor Bill Keller's explanation of the Times's decisions to, on one hand, not republishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed with those to, on the other hand, publish both the NSA terrorist surveillance program and the Treasury Department's tracking terrorist money through the Belgian "SWIFT" consortium. Barone wrote, "Disclosing classified programs that help protect us against terrorism is just dandy. But publishing cartoons that would be 'perceived as a particularly deliberate insult' by Muslims is beyond the pale. Coddling tender sensitivities is more important [to the New York Times] than protecting national security."

Reporters from Baghdad to Washington are having their stories rewritten at the desk. The source close to the Times inner workings said, "The real story is what's going on inside the Times. If some responsible group set up a whistleblowers' hotline for Times reporters, they'd get some startling stories about what happens in the Times's newsroom."

If anyone in the press really had a pair, they would cover the innner workings of the Times. The public has a right to know what's going on... and why.

Here is something, we can all do this week to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation's security. We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies who buy NY Slimes stock, we will improve our precious investment capital being wasted on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the NY Slimes acts of sedition. Please send this how to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more.

INSTRUCTIONS FROM Grampa Dave:

 

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the NY Slimes Stock

 

 

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT.

If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:

1. Sell those mutual funds or trade them for funds not owning NYT.
   
   
2. Send a letter to the fund managers and the CEO's of the mutual fund company telling them why you sold/transferred their mutual fund owning NY Slimes stock. Then demand to know why they are wasting your precious $'s on a treason/sedition company which is a terrible investment.
   
   
3. Contact the SEC to investigate why this mutual fund and mutual fund company invested your $'s in one of the worse investments of the past 2 years. Was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes.
   
   
4. Send this how to re Mutual Funds with NYT stock to everyone on your email list for a wakeup call.
   
   

We might have a lot more impact than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.

Ole Lightning - is there a better Blues man? Wonderful song, too.

Excellent chart. Bad behavior has consequences. Even Soros' pockets are only so deep. The majority does 'get it'.

Meanwhile, at CBS News.....

“If you can't say it... sing it!”

I doubt the dolts at the Slimes made the connection.

I do not make a practice of short-selling stocks...but I can't think of a more deserving candidate.

"Simply an excellent column. It seems the TIMES has been hijacked by a handful of McGovernites who seem determined to drive the once great newspaper into a ditch."

If it wasn't for the crossword, the paper would have been out of business years ago.

[Grampa Dave]

I feel the same way.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I disagree with the conclusion of this article. The NYTimes SHOULD be charged with treason.

[Obadiah]

Excellent.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this thread.

The Slimes needs to be hammered 24/7/365 on Free Republic.

It's not dysfunction at all. It's well organized and deliberate treason.

"So the Times financial value has fallen on hard times,Maybe we should take up a collection for it? Id contribute a gallon of gas to burn it to the ground."

And I'll bring the torch...

[HOYA97]

Thank you soooo much. I just found out that my mutual fund Fidelity Puritan fund owns New York Time stock. I will change that immeadiately.

Thanks again!
