   “a largely scandal-free résumé.”

   Ooh, they used “é” instead of “e“.

   Very classy. Makes me forget that they are using the adjective “largely.”

   Don’t read the New York Times if you want to know the full truth about Commerce Secretary nominee Gary Locke.

   MM, here’s where you should have stopped that sentence:
   

   Don’t read the New York Times if you want to know the full truth… .

   Who reads the NY Times? Who reads any of these fossils called newspapers?

   If I want the opinions of a bunch of smug anti-American, anti-God rejects pretending to be a legitimate news agency I’d watch MSNBC.

   NY Times = no longer relevant
   MSNBC = complete joke

   What the heck does this statement mean? His resume is either scandal-free or it’s not. The ‘largely’ addition just gives them a pass on reporting the facts. They are directing the reader to ‘move along, there’s nothing to see here’.

   They were too busy exposing secret US military operations in Pakistan to do the actual research on this, so they just went with it.

   largely scandal-free résumé.

   Is this like largely HIV free??

   In the last few days, the NY Times Roger Cohen has written glowingly about Iran’s human rights record toward its Jewish population. The NY Times announced through Cohen that Iran’s talk about eliminating Israel and its denial of the holocaust was mere rhetoric for domestic comsumption, not to be taken seriously. Cohen wrote that in any event, any Iranian statements like that were an understandable reaction to Israeli conduct. So nobody should be surprised by one more Times whiewash.

    The seattle times obviously forgot to go back into the archives and look at Michelle’s original reporting, because this article absolves locke of any blame for his shenanigans…

    Exactly what I have come to expect from much of the MSM. Someday they too will be called on it, but not before more Americans realize they NEED to be in the “Chattering Class”

    Look, nobody is perfect, ahem, I “get that”. But could we start with integrity and work from there please Mr. President?

    What the heck does this statement mean?

    As you know, it means “relatively”, such as:

    The explosion at Hiroshima was largely a small energy release when comparing it to a supernova
