#1 New York Times - the nagging wife of the world. It spends years haraunging the military and president to get out and as soon as it even thinks about it they start to blame them for cutting and running. These days I put more stock into the Enquirer than I do the NYT, and trust me, that's not much. It is truly amazing that their board members don't grasp the loss of value that has been squandered in "goodwill". It's like watching a nervous breakdown what's going on there.

#2 That's rehashed news from last month. Sooner or later MSM are going to be right, like with Bin Laden's and Zarqawi's death or any other stories based on speculations.

#3 Dr. White, as a moderator, you should be concerned about the credibility of the links established here. I'm surprised to see you lowering the credibility of the Burg by using sources like the NYT.

#4 I don't know why people are always bashing the NYT. Scrappleface and The Onion make up stuff all the time and nobody gives them crap about it.

#5 Mrs. D., I balance the reference to the NYT by linking to Pravda ...

#7 Scrappleface and teh Onion are right more often than the NYT - it's a credibility thang. Oh yeah, and they don't pay MoDo for her hyperadolescent rants against all men

#8 But Scrappleface is at least believable. Come to think of it, The Onion is believable, too, if you are the Beijing news service.

#9 I used to use the NYT to line my bird cage - but then the parrot started to object.

#10 BTW - if there was a Nobel Prize for Hypocrisy - this NYT article would win it.
