I hate those symbols they put in to make it imposible to cut and paste.

From the GrooveYard of Lost Scandals:

-The Old Grey Info-Slut... the NYT/Jayson Blair Affair--

[hershey]

Gee, usual Lib. line, reminds me of Carter blaming the US (Bush), for the world's ills. Uh, and Kerry, Fat boy Kennedy, Hitlery, Daschle, etc..

[tioga]

OK, Pinch (grown men are named "pinch"?) -- anyway get this........I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PAPER PRINTING LIES........YOU ARE!

[goldstategop]

Its typical of liberals... they think other people are stupid and can't grasp their great thoughts. Its all our fault Jayson Blair betrayed the Grey Lady. To hear it from Pinch Sulzberger, its never his newspaper or its philosophy that hired an unqualified minority as a journalist and allowed him to print fiction as fact for years in its pages. Its one more sign of how the partisan media is fast losing its last shred of credibility in this country.

But . . . but . . . my intentions were so good. Can't we all just get along? <:/sarcasm>

Just like a Democrat: "The buck never got here!"

It's the Republicans' fault that Craig Livingstone read their FBI files, too! You certainly can't blame Clinton for that!

But let something undesirable happen in Iraq and "Bush should have prevented it; he didn't plan well enough (but he started planning too soon, and listens to his advisors too much)."

Had readers complained about Jayson Blair, they would have been accused of being racist. Liberals operate that way. Jayson was a 'protected entity' safely tucked under the wings of upper management.

Readers have complained about the NYT left-leanings----to no avail. Liberals operate that way, too.

[leprechaun9]

"Pinch" must really be in a pinch when he must desperately point his finger at his customers. This shows how morally and intellectually dishonest this man is!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

...and brought it þu and him þu to their knees.

When I think of The New York Times and Pinch Sulzberger, I say P.U. too.

Pinch Sulzberger, owner of the New York Times, last week blamed the readers of the Times for the Jayson Blair scandal

Talk about arrogance! And he expects people to take the Times seriously?

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Pinch Sulzberger, owner of the New York Times, last week blamed the readers of the Times for the Jayson Blair scandal......

Liberal thinking in a nutshell......"it's not my fault."

These poeple are so disturbed. Pinch needs immediate medical care, and a good shrink.

[prairiebreeze]

Having a wee problem with the personal accountibility issue, eh Pinch?

[OldFriend]

Well, this reader sent an email suggesting that the misinformation they were printing (later corrected) was a deliberate attempt to slant the news.

Got a letter back professing outrage that anyone would think the paper would deliberately print misinformation.

[Cboldt]

How does one go about firing the owner?

[Corporate Law]

Pinch would not know the meaning of "personal repsonsibility" if slapped in the face (saying "pinched him" would have been too easy).

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

[blanknoone]

Sulzberger also revealed that the worst thing to come out of the Blair scandal was not the former reporter's ethical crimes, but the fact that sources and readers who knew about the incorrect reporting did not complain because they believed that that was what newspapers did. "That is scary," he said.

Well, Pinchy boy, that is exaxtly what YOUR newspaper did. And does, I might add. Those people were right.

[T'wit]

This is a remarkable confession, thought Pinch is much too stupid to realize it. The tacit admission is that liberal editors are unable to distinguish between facts and lies . That is because they themselves peddle a world of make-believe every day. They threw out all the old rules of journalism to do it.

A few days ago, USA Today editor Karen Jurgensen abruptly resigned (i.e., she got fired) for failing to detect Jack Kelley's long career of lies, plagiarisms and phony quotations. Hal Ritter, managing editor of the paper's news section, also resigned in a hurry. USA Today is the biggest newspaper in the country, yet the editors let a hoaxer run loose for more than ten years. Never suspected a thing.

Nowadays you can't find a journalism school that still teaches the rules of journalistic integrity. They are all liberal "activists" now, shaping stories to their political view. Where reporters of other eras dug out the facts and kept their views to themselves, today's media people are in show biz. They stage stories, they make up scripts, they steal material, they fake quotations, and most of all, they preach their left-wing politics.

If you have a taste for reality and truth, there IS relief -- just avoid the liberal news media and stick to Free Republic :-)

[chimera]

Just a manifestation of the defining characteristics of "modern" journalism: laziness and sloppiness. Can't be bothered to check whether or not what they're printing is true. Just go with it if it fits the agenda and "feels good". That's easier than doing any actual work, getting in there and digging out the truth. Heaven forbid, that might actually uncover something that runs counter than what the PC police would have us believe. Can't have that...

[BigWaveBetty]

Unfreakinbelievable ping.
