This Is Opposition? [WSJ Editorial on the NYTimes]
Wall St. Journal ^ | Aug 19, 2002 | Editorial

We're pleased, we guess, that the New York Times thought our article on Iraq by Brent Scowcroft last Thursday was important enough to lead its front page two days in a row. We'd be more pleased, though, if instead of trumpeting our story to advance a tendentious theme, the Times kept its opinions on its editorial page.

Don't you love it when the NY Times gets slapped around, especially when it's done by a big name such as the Wall Street Journal?

Excellent article. I do not expect all Republicans to march along and agree all the same. President Bush will listen to many opinions, but he is the one who gets to decided what to do.

No worries. I'd read the article a while ago, but didn't comment on it. The Times just sees healthy discussion amongst President Bush's advisors as something bad. I see it as a good thing, a lot of times healthy discussion that has an end to it promotes ideas, and building upon others views. OTOH, Clinton and his minions would discuss an idea or policy to death, never come to any sort of decision, and just kind of let stuff happen by default.

Well, the main point here seems to be that while there has been a healthy discussion of policy, there's far, far less opposition than what the Times would have us believe. Anytime a little-known Republican congressman wants to make front page news, all he has to do is express opposition to President Bush and he'll be the darling of the week.

I heard Rush talking about this today. I forget his exact description of the "once great" NY Times - but it was great and not complimentary!

Hi Nita. Thanks for the ping. This high level controversy is becoming more muddled by the day.
