To me it is in the category of the National Enquirer

To me, the National Enquirer has more credibility these days (re John Edwards love child, BHO citizenship issue, etc.)…

Sulzberger the fourth never had to start as a copy boy.

Teach your children, never work for a company where nepotism exists.

The whole entitlement thing is embarassing.

Arthur Sulzberger the fourth, who through heredity alone became publisher of the Times (no wonder he loves Caroline Kennedy) gave a graduation speech in which he actually apologized to the college graduates because they have to live in an America that Sulzberger found racist, warlike, and economically royalist. Never mind that in the next election, the supposedly racist American people elected an African-American president, never mind that the US saved the Afghan people from permanent rule by the Taliban, never mind that Sulzberger the fourth never had to start as a copy boy. Sulzberger delighted in his attack on America. This is the same newspaper that hired leftwing Arabist Christopher Hedges. Hedges was also forced upon unwilling students in Illinois as the graduation speaker. He began berating America and the students heartily booed Hedges. The students never vote to have baby boomer limousine liberals like Sulzberger and Hedges to be graduation speakers. They are just forced to have them by aging faculty members who spend their days drinking latte and daintily eating brie cheese on fine crackers.

I must admit, I don’t know much about Caroline Kennedy (me being from the mountains and all) but I saw her press conference. Is she dumber than dumb? I mean, will the senate be limited to one and two syllable words when she buys here seat? I may be wrong but I wasn’t all that impressed.

This is not the first or last NY Times excursion into fiction. There was Walter Duranty who wrote lovingly of Uncle Joe Stalin and how there was no famine in the Ukraine. And the Times still brags about Duranty winning a Pulitzer Prize.
And now comes the NY Times policy of refusing to use the word “terrorist” to describe Islamic extremists who murder children outside of Israel’s pre1967 border. James Bennet, who wrote the Times memo, said that those who kill Israeli civilians beyound the green line might be viewed as resistance fighters. Mr. Bennet wrote that reporters should describe the events “vividly” but must refrain from showing moral disapproval of Palestinians who do these things. Is it any wonder that with reporters like these men, the Times now has seen its bonds reduced to junk status, it’s stock price cratering, its dividend slashed and the Times having to take a huge mortgage out on its headquarters. The Times may be popular in the Arab world but nowhere else is it popular.

violated both our standards

Yes, it is true: They do have 2 standards!

Standard #1: Print any drivel we can get away with.

Standard #2: Print negative stuff only about Republican/Conservative people.

I think it’s likely that some liberal schlub at the Times figured anti-French sentiment among the “Plebes” could be mined to help Princess Caroline’s bid for office, hence publication of the faux-missive….

So if I want to get a letter published in the NYT all I need to do is put the name of some fancy-pants European pol at the end and voila!

Sweet!
