DEATH BY MISREPORT: 4^TH-ESTATE MALFEASANCE AND 9/11

This misreporting actually endangers people's lives. By selectively reporting the news...

New York Post | 25 January 2002

Q ERTY6

the clintons were utter failures

and the GOP had better exploit it

^{4th-Estate Malfeasance} (DEATH BY MISREPORT)

_{rodham-clinton} ^{REALITY CHECK}

bump!

New York Times Chairman/Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. admits to Brian Lamb:

• "Times dropped ball during Holocaust by failing to connect the dots"
• Times was able to endorse clinton by separating clinton's "policies" from "the man" [i.e., by failing to connect the dots!]

alpractice and/or malfeasance by "compartmentalization" redux...

It appears that The New York Times doesn't learn from its mistakes. Will it take the Times another 50 years to understand/admit that by having endorsed for reelection a "documentably dysfunctional" president with "delusions" -- its own words -- it must bear sizeable blame for the 9-11 horror and its aftermath ?

(Note, by the way, the irony of Sulzberger's carefully worded rationalization of the clinton endorsements, pointing to clinton "policies," not achievements, (perhaps understanding, at last, that clinton "achievements" -- when legal -- were more illusory than real--perhaps understanding, at last, that the Times' Faustian bargain was not such a good deal after all).).

If we assume that the clintons were the proximate cause of 9-11 --- a proposition not difficult to demonstrate --- it then follows that The New York Times must bear sizeable blame for the 9-11 horror and its aftermath.

"I think the rock is still there, but I'm not sure," Helen quipped. Her punch line to clinton's response to her question about a -- (only in Helen's mind) 'fantasy' -- clinton kleptocracy, was in fact 4th-estate CYA-ing disguised as a joke.

Ironically, unbeknownst to the always clueless Helen, the one-liner she was delivering was indeed a joke; it was the butt of the joke that was her misreport...

In the end,

if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,

it seems the joke will be on all of us,

for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,

for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.

 

We will have set apart clinton as the hero

by making his victims less human than he;

we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims

so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings

as much as clinton himself does.

Good exercise!

But no surprise as to media bias.

You're right. But that's not why I liked what D14truth started. I think FReepers like to take action, and this is one good way to do it.

I've been saying for a very long time that it among FReepers is should be no longer any doubt about media biase, but rather making a joke of how far, in their desperation, they'll go.

For the most part, I think my picador/matador analogy in reply #11 fits pretty well. This helps make mincemeat of second-rate "picadors'" efforts at turning the rabble against "our tauri," and which strands the bloated "matadors" (like the L.A. Slimes) to reveal the ham-handed and stupidly cruel butchers of the truth that they've become.

From my own experience, it's not infrequent for left-leaning coworkers to show-off some newsrag pundit's attack on conservatives.
It's one thing, as in the past, to shrug off the snide comments or make an impromptu retort. It's entirely another simply to follow the examples shown here.

And D14truth isn't finished. His on-going examples, #1, and those of others #2, show how easy it is for us to use a red pen to strike-out the biased words and replace them with reverse bias.
If it can be done humorously and with a little flair, you will have gone a long way to further deaden what's left of the influence of the decadent newsrags.

Shining light upon the actions of the duplicitous can be fun!

FReegrards,

Bumping to avoid Sulla. ;^)

This looks like an altered quote:

"The appearance is terrible," Pitney said. "This is a heaven-sent opportunity: It gives Simon a chance to talk about an issue on which he can get some traction."

"The appearance is terrible," Pitney said. "This is a heaven-sent opportunity: It gives Simon a chance to talk about an issue on which he can get even more traction."

fix very poorly written paragraph

I've been saying for a very long time that among FReepers there should no longer be any doubt about bias in media.
Rather we should be making a running joke of how far, in desperation, the media will go.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

You are right. I think that was my fault too, and not D1's.

Thanks for the catch. I'll notify PascalFervor.

[d14truth]

Thank you

Avoiding_Sulla, not likely, Memorial Day bump

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Avoiding_Sulla, not likely

While it is not likely, we must try to avoid our version of Sulla. It's difficult, not impossible.

Those who believe in God know He won't obliterate us for the sake of 10 good men.
Those who would destroy us need nearly all of us to give up.
Hence, I have a great deal of gratitude for all pertinacious SOBs who know that our salvation lay not with the approval of powerful men.

Memorial Day bump indeed!

No more 'PC' journalism.
