Ping for the ASPL.

Since the mid-60s The New York Times has hated America. What's new here?

[jwfiv]

Sullivan is on target, his aim straight and true as it most always is.

NYT is fulla poopoo. NYT is wholly owned by the DNC and NAMBLA

Funny. The experts of malfeasant and corrupt journalism, whining about 'corporate' corruption.

"All the news that fits the script."

[Silly]

Thanks for posting this. I was afraid it would only be available in print editions of the Sun, which does not publish on-line. I'm glad I had a chance to read it in full.

You don't have to rely on the NY Times to read Andrew Sullivan.

His stuff is always available online.

NY Times; Sun

Sullivan might be overlooking the good news here -- which is that the Washington Post tends to support Bush. That's one more Washington paper than has supported any other Republican. (No, I'm not confusing the Post with the Washington Times.)

On the liberal message boards, the Dims despise both the NYT and the WP, but they hate the Post most.

The Washington Post supporting President Bush? That's news to me

[jumpstartme]

DNC spin...

I think this is especially funny since it was just recently revealed the NYT was in bed with Enron.

Perhaps this little poll was to take the heat off themselves. Here we go again - shades of Clinton spin.

The Washington Post supporting President Bush? That's news to me

...and to me. They sure don't use the flattering, positive pictures that we see daily in Rintense' thread. They usually choose an expression in which he looks weak or goofy. They have a huge number of pictures to choose, including many when he is speaking. The choice is an editorial comment itself.

Here's a classic: "Do you think George W. Bush is in charge of what goes on in his administration most of the time or do you think other people are really running the government?" Who wrote that question? Terry McAuliffe?

LOL

If you put the vast majority of writers of the Times in the TV Stalag 13 sitcom (Hogan's Heroes) these fools and liars still wouldn't find their way out... and notifying Klink's sharpshooters of "that" escape wouldn't be a bad idea.

How many of these people have even attained puberty?

Any times you see the two words "news analysis" under one of the NY Times blaring headlines, just think LIBERAL AGENDA ALERT!

The only sliver of evidence......The New York Times: All the News that Fits, We Print.....

[Silly]

Anagram:

The New York Times = The Monkeys Write

Usually, this is done by crude front-page editorializing - most memorably R.W. Apple's front-page prediction of the Afghan campaign as a "quagmire," or the saturation Enron-coverage a few months back.

Lets not forget hysterical "BUSH KNEW!" (about 911) headline ...
