The New York Times editorial board ripped the Obama administration in a scathing editorial Thursday afternoon, writing that it has “now lost all credibility” after revelations that the administration has been collecting the phone records of millions of Verizon customers. It came as something of a surprise, considering the board’s normally friendly view toward the administration. But in the editorial, the Times’ board criticised the Obama administration in much of the same way it scrutinized the Bush administration. It wrote that the Obama administration’s justification for the program —

Repeal the Patriot Act. Ditch DHS. They have abused and harassed the American people. Repeal Obamadeathcare. Institute a flat tax and abolish the IRS.
“but this is another rogue action by an agency and I am sure Obama knew nothing about it nothing”
I think you just nailed it. Obama quit reading the Times and they are ticked. If he had read the Times he would know everything he needs to know. Obviously since he doesn’t know anything,,he has stopped reading NYT and their widdle feelings are hurt.(do I have to say sarc?)
Once the New York Times knows reporters were only pulled in tangentially they'll back off and start loving Obama again.
The first time Obama knew about what the NSA was doing was when he read about it in the newspaper. I assume the New York Times will believe that - they believed it about every other Obama scandal...
Every minute I expect to see an announcement stating that the Koch brothers have taken over the New York Times.
At this point I refer to the pResident as Erich Honecker.
The Attorney General is Markus Wolf.
Haha, I was just thinking, the NYT are the slow kids and late to the party.
I think it’s very interesting, and few people could ahbor and loathe the NYT more than I do.
They’ll get over their pique by next week, but it doesn’t matter anyway, they were always going to wait until the criminal got re-elected before they said anything critical. They won’t say enough to make anything happen, like they woulld if it was a Republican. And they’ll point to this too little, too late “critical” coverage as evidence of their lack of bias next time a Republican is in office, in case that should ever happen.
“IRS must have decided to AUDIT the NYT.”
The very thought made me laugh, thank you.
“Repeal the Patriot Act. Ditch DHS. They have abused and harassed the American people. Repeal Obamadeathcare. Institute a flat tax and abolish the IRS.”
Amen
Unfortunately, it will be.
“All The News That We Eventually Have To Face up To”
Just what I was wondering!
“Worst loss of trust in the government since Nixon.”
Worse than that. This is the worst, ever. Now, even many of the Obastard’s most hardcore supporters are turning on him.
Breaking?
The Tyrannical abomination known as the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act should be repealed. It has been abused just as its opponents warned everybody it would be. As "hawkish" as my attitude towards the WOT is, I was among those opponents.
And let's not forget that the judicial branch is actively cooperating with the executive branch in this erosion of liberties, and of course the legislative branch bears its original responsibility.
If that's the case, got to be super big and super bad.
If they haven't, they will now.
