New York Times -"All the News That Fits We Print"

Boy, does the New York Times believe in that motto! (For the adults among us, the motto could be "All the news that's s**t we print"). The NYT has a history of printing only what it believes fits into its' liberal ideology; truth be damned, ethics be damned & professionalism be damned. Which is fine for their editorial page. But the NYT prints that ideology under the guise of "news". Front page stuff.

The other day the NY Slime heralded a large article on missing explosives, after the April invasion of Iraq, at Al Qaqaa (as in "the Slimes story is 'ca ca' doo doo") in Iraq, to the tune of 380 tons of RDX - an incredibly powerful explosive. And they claim RDX is used for triggering nuclear expolsions - could this be part of the wmd's that the Slime claims Saddam never had? The Slimes article was slanted to lead one to believe that the RDX was stolen under the nose of the US military. And that was the intent of the article - to lay blame on George Bush for this horrible lapse in protecting these explosives. The Slimes fails to equally mention that there was a month gap between when the last UN inspectors were at that site & when US troops arrived there April 9. The Slime article has been discredited here, here, & elsewhere. But facts mean nothing when it comes time for the Slime to pull an October Surprise to help Kerry's campaign. And CBS Sixty Minutes was planning to run this story 2 days before the election, but the Slime beat them to it. Apparently CBS has not learned from it's RatherGate forgeries.

The interference of mainstream media to purposely attempt to affect an election with old, distorted half-truths & misleading "information" should be the subject of scorn from everyone, if not outright criminal penalties. The NY Slime pulls this all the time. The newspaper of note - ha! But they are not alone. The Slime, CBS & others need to go back to journalism school to learn what ethics are & reassess what their responsibilities are to their readers.

Kerry on his part has been his typical pompous, bloviating self. He jumps on the Slime story immediately before he knows what the truth is & mouths off about Bush being misleading, incompetent & blah, blah, blah. Same old record. Even Kerry's spokesperson said that they didn't know if the explosives were removed before US forces arrived. But remember - Kerry is an opportunist & neither he or the NY Slime will let truth stand in their way to get him elected. Kerry is still reprehensible - but he has company with CBS & the NY Slime.

We had RatherGate, now it's NYTroGate.
