#1 I had read that earlier and sent a msg to everyone at fox news about it. I'm gonna contact the NY post too... I think they would be interested. If you all have time spread the word. The NY Times attacks the actions of our military every day. Our military is trying to free 20 million people from oppresion and give them a better life. The NY Times is doing what they ACCUSE our military of doing but they are doing it out of pure greed. Economic motives and nothing more. They are hypocrites and they should pay for their disgusting actions. Illegaly destroying a hard working Iraqi's life becasue they want to be in a better position to get a story so they can sell more newspapers. Disgusting. I had stopped paying for the Times a long time ago so I can't boycott them anymore than I am but I can do what I can to get the word out.

#2 The NYT is, perhaps, invoking eminent domain again like they did for their new NYC building.

From a Michelle Malkin column dated July 18, 2003:

This week, it was revealed that the Times Company's development partner for the headquarters project has asked city officials for $400 million in federally-financed "Liberty Bonds." The federal program was meant for rebuilding in New York City's Sept. 11 disaster zone, not for subsidizing a private newspaper's long-planned palatial ambitions.

The background: While small business owners near Ground Zero in lower Manhattan struggled to pick up the pieces after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, all the midtown Manhattan fatcats at the Times had to do was throw a tantrum to obtain public funding for a new building. After the newspaper's executives threatened to move their workers out of town, city and state officials coughed up a vast tract of land on the edge of Times Square for a shiny, new 52-story headquarters.

One minor glitch: The land that government authorities proposed to give away â and the 11 buildings and 30 businesses located on it â wasn't theirs for the taking. No matter. The corporate welfare conspirators invoked two magic words: eminent domain.

#3 Hi, NYT, hypocritical biased piece of fish wrap.

If you think this is ironically funny, then how about this:

They want to use 9/11 funds for a new building.

They should call the new building The New York Times and Gall.
