Look, if the New York Times were actually a conservative paper, there would more than two examples, one from 6 years ago, one from nearly 10 years ago

quickie, I guess Fox on Paper is a little Outre. I apologize.

New York Real News. Not bad. Though by Real News that would hopefully be the negatives and positives coming out of Iraq, the good and bad of the Bush Admin, etc. No Bush lied nonsense, of course. You know, “Real’ meaning in touch with the real world which is usaully painted in shades of gray instead of comic book black and white.

Dugger, Who, when a liberal, was quoted as saying:

The Problem of Governance is Spending that Huge Cache of Loot Hidden Under the Capitol Dome.

Hey, if it means you’ll stop spouting a 20 year out of date talking point, we’ll take that deal.

Minus your the dumbass name. We’ll stick with something simple. New York Real News (Now with less talking points and neocon frames!), or something like that.

Hey, fine with me. Lets split the NYT in half. We’ll make my half the WaTimes East or The 42nd St. Journal or Fox on Paper; and you guys can make your half The Revolutionary Workers Glorious Victory Over The Running Dog Lackeys of the Imperial Hegemonists Journal - or whatever.

Or the paper that was obsessed to the point of absurdity by Whitewater and the other made-up scandals pushed by the right wing. Or the same paper that wrote the most absurd stories about Al Gore and Wes Clark when they were running for office.

The NY Times is a left wing paaper through and through. They will certainly criticize Democrats who they think have moved too near the centre. Same as OW. He will occassionally shows his ‘fairness’ by pointing out he criticizes Democrats - same principal, though - from the left (see Lieberman). Hillary has gotten some of that too - at times, she is insufficiently ideologically pure.

That must have been another paper I was reading in late 2002 and early 2003 that was beating the war drums, and discounting the other side (which has been proven right).

Riiight! There are just so many “right wing liars” at the Times — all both of them!

I’ve never pretended they didn’t Mike (see here for much more Times crimes), but unlike the right who thinks they can get in the head of everyone, most of us on the left believes its a combination of their sloppy journalism combined with right wing liars.

So, you’re just figuring out that the New York Times regularly publishes “out and out fabrications“?

And that they publish corrections too?

(*gasp*)
