The Times can't possibly quote Moncrief knowing what they knew about her. If Malkin knows all about the theft, why is she still hounding the times for not quoting Moncrief about the embezzlement figure? They couldn't have gone with the word of someone that had stolen money. They just oculdn't. Besides that Moncrief couldn't have known anything first hand. This was all said at a board meeting and she was never on the board. So,frankly, the times had no choice but to not run the story. So, why aren't you also criticizing Michelle just a little along with the insults to me.

You can dig through her stories and link to it. I will be waiting. All I want from Malkin is three things. 1)if you identify someone as a whistle blower, a very positive adjective, you must also report on negative behavior if there is some. In the case of Moncrief, there is and it needs to be reported as well. Malkin can't constantly refer to Moncrief as a whistle blower without also saying that she used a company credit card for personal business. That's not right. 2)If you quote someone, they must be identified. Malkin still hasn't identified who Michael Gaynor is. His quote is used to smear Michael McCray. Doesn't the audience have a right to know who Gaynor is? 3)If you attack someone, they must be given an opportunity to respond? Malkin attacked McCray. It's only right that she ask him to respond. She didn't. Those are the only problems I have and if anyone disagrees with those three, then you can let me know. Malkin did, I must have missed it. You can dig through her stories and link to it.

That is like saying that the night follows the day. The NY Times is far too busy promoting Richard Goldstone's antiIsrael to worry about things like Acorn corruption. Only day after the left wing Goldstone report came out, the NY Times already had a huge Goldstone oped in the prime space in the NY Times editorial page. The Times had an article about Goldstone from proSyrian reporter Neil Macfarquhar that referred to Goldstone as "an internationally respected jurist" and Macfarquhar castigated Israel. Then Macfarquhar wrote an article sugarcoating Ahmedinejad's speech at the UN. Why is it a surprise that the NY Times is spinning for the Obamas? That is like saying that the night follows the day.
