Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti My syndicated column today takes another whack at the New York Times. Outside of the blogosphere and Fox News, the Fishwrap of Record’s admission that it spiked an election eve story on the possible illegal coordination between the Obama campaign and ACORN’s canvassing arm, Project Vote, has gotten zero scrutiny. Fortunately, [...]

ObamACORN and the Fishwrap of Record.

Drool Bucket Award.

Douthat as resident conservative op-ed contributor, the New York Times makes explicit its employment critieria for any pundit to the right of Dennis Kucinich: You must “steer away from partisanship…or doctrine.” You must “frequently criticize Republicans.” Show a “concern for income equality.” And be a [...]

The credentialed professionals at the Fishwrap of Record fall for a blindingly obvious hoax. All the dupes fit to print.

And now, here comes Reuters, heralding the new year with this: Government aid could save [...]

The Fishwrap of Record’s bonds and reputation are in the tank. What to do? Sell, sell, sell! Maybe if they had been spending more on letters editors than on baseball, they wouldn’t have gotten punked. The New York Times Co., strapped for cash and facing shrinking revenue, is reportedly seeking to sell its stake in [...]

Going down, down, down.

Better late than never, I guess.

Distorting the news at The Fishwrap of Record.

Here’s how the Times says “thanks for your service…”

America’s fishwrap of record.

“Very impressive…if you’re twelve”.

That’s Rich!

Wrapped in self-delusion.

All the misattributions fit to print.

The national fish wrap of record.
