AH, yes, the New York Times.

as for the times, its hands down the best paper in the country, despite its occasional mistakes. no other paper comes close.

Depends on what standard you cite. If it's making up news or aiding terrorists, then yeah, no question.

lemme guess - you haven't actually compared it with its competitors, have you? here, i'm thinking the WSJ, the LAT, and the Post.

Very good point. The NYT is the best paper in America. How anyone can argue with this is beyond me.

Well put.  It was a very positive article.  Earlier this week or last week, the Times also had a very positive article about WNY (which someone else linked).

 

I am a paleo conservative.  Yet, the NYT is the best newspaper in America.  The trashing of the Times is really overdone (especially by the people at Fox and within the VP's office).

Overdone? There's a reason why people are buying it anymore. The paper is a communisto rag.

WSJ is better than NYT for what they do. Washington Post is too concerned with their vendetta against George Allen to pay attention to anything else going on in the world.

hmm. do you read the post's genuinenly excellent reporters, like anthony shadid or robin wright? also know that david remnick came from the post. or do you simply listen to the rightwing spin machine re the "liberal" media?

. . . or not challenging the administration on WMD claims.  0:)

Exacrly, the NYT aided Osama and his boys who blew up the WTC by being such bad reporters they completely missed the fact that the Administration completely blew their "slam dunk" about WMD and did not challenge the obviously wrong idea that Saddam and Al Quaeda were working together.

 

Sure the NYT can try to defend itself by saying but everyone else was wrong about WMD and the Saddam/Osama axis. However, i think it is pretty reasonable to expect a rich journal that portrays itself as America's newspaper of record to meet a higher standard of simply getting the story right so that we were not distracted from going after the terrorists who killed Americans.

 

The idea that the NYT can justify itself by claiming others were wrong is almost as stupid as the idea that the American government should be let off the hook for getting thousands of its troops killed for nothing but revenge for the Prez's Dad amd mation building which we are doing a really bad job of in Iraq since Rumsfeld and the boys have not commited enough troops and are trying to do this on the cheap.

 

Sure the centerpiece of the war on terror is now in Iraq, and Iran is really pleased about this as Al Quaeda chose this as a great place to make a stand as the nation we are building breaks down into 3 nations because of sectarian violence we will lose.

 

I am convinced by the arguments about NYT that it and our President are doing a great job helping the terrorists achieve their goals.
