#1 Anyone outside of the 'inner circle' bother reading the rag for anything other than its usefulness to fill blogs with the usual effective factual analysis of its lack of integrity and misconstrued data masquerading as facts?

#3 The AP said that Sarah Palin is 'racist' for bringing up Obama's association with Ayers. Totally in the tank.

#4 as someone else was quoted on Insty:

#6 N.Y. Times ~~white~~washes Obama-Ayers connection.

There you go, Barbara S., all better now.... But I've now implied that the A-O connection was "dirty" (needed a wash) as contrasted with "Plugs'" assertion that The Annointed One was "clean."

OMG, now where do I turn to assuage my white guilt?

#7 Does this really qualify as "News" since everyone already expects this kind of story--emphasis on "Story."

#9 I'm surprised the New York Times felt forced to actually run any story on the subject. This will give a few more people a reason not to vote for Candidate Obama.

#10 They're trying to innoculate Obama against the attack that Palin kicked off, hoping a little of the truth will create antibodies against the full impact.
