@RandPaulLBJ biographer Robert Caro on election fraud: "Johnson received the votes of the dead, the halt, the missing and those who were unaware that an election was going on.” Sound familiar? How Johnson Won Election He'd Lost - The New York Times (1990)

In a rare display of media self-awareness, New York Times investigative reporter Eric Lipton called out CNN coverage of the nationally-covered special election in Georgia’s sixth congressional district. Criticizing their journalistic standards, Lipton tweeted a June 10 article from CNN citing a poll estimating a seven point lead for the Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff over his Republican opponent Karen Handel. "Looks like we have more evidence that polling is flawed and reporters need to stop relying on it to shape coverage," Lipton tweeted on June 21. "Looks like we have more evidence that polling is flawed and reporters need to...

The New York Times dropped another “bombshell” report on Russian influence on the 2016 election Wednesday, and once again what is presented as salacious news in the headline and lead is revealed to be anything but midway through the report. “Months before the election, U.S. spies learned that top Russians had discussed ways to use Donald Trump’s advisers to influence him,” reads the headline blasted by TheNYT in a breaking news email.

On Democratic Underground, a blog for open discussion and an online gathering place for people who hate the Bush administration, a participant asked, "Since we know that the atmosphere has become contaminated by all the atomic testing, space stuff, electronic stuff, earth pollutants, etc., is it logical to wonder...

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Times Co. told investors Thursday that its fourth quarter and full-year earnings would come in below Wall Street estimates on weaker-than-expected advertising in the fourth quarter and higher costs for promotion, printing, distribution and newsprint. The company also said it would begin expensing the cost of stock options and its employee stock purchase plan.

The company, which also publishes The Boston Globe and...
