The New York Times, owner of the Boston Globe, has not provided an impartial view of gay marriage that is required in “balanced journalism,” according to the paper’s new ombudsman, Daniel Okrent, who wrote last Sunday.
Agreeing with the opinion of J. Edward Pawlick in his book, “Libel by New York Times,” Okrent said that the “news” in the paper on homosexuality amounts to “cheerleading.”
Although the Publisher, Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. was mentioned in the story, along with the fact that the paper changed its course when he became Chairman and took control in the late 1990s, the ombudsman tread lightly when talking about him.
Nevertheless, the appearance of the story caused many to wonder if the 12 cousins in the Sulzberger family are finally ready to jettison Arthur Jr. and put another family member in charge of the huge, rich, powerful conglomerate.
Arthur, also known as Pinch, was almost removed last year during the Jayson Blair scandal and the appointment of the ombudsman resulted therefrom. It is well known that the cousins believe Pinch is a little strange and obsessed with homosexuality. He has publicly stated numerous times since he first appeared at the New York offices in 1984 that he believes all his ancestors, including his father, were homophobes.
It was not reported last Sunday, however, that three-quarters of the people who decide what appears on the front page of the New York Times are homosexuals, according to Richard Berke, the paper's National Political Correspondent, a longtime member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.
Berke spoke at the 10th anniversary reception for the group in Washington, D.C. on April 12, 2000 at the National Press Club, saying: "This is at a newspaper where not so long ago -- when I started there 15 years ago -- the department heads were asking for lists of the gay reporters on different sections so they could be punished in different ways. So things have really changed at the newspaper. Since I've been there, there's been a dramatic shift. I remember coming and wondering if there were any gay reporters there or whatever. Now it's like, there are times when you look at the front-page meeting and … literally three-quarters of the people deciding what's on the front page are not-so-closeted homosexuals. … [It is] a real far cry from what it was like not so long ago."
According to those words, the decision to start cheerleading for homosexuality began soon after 1984 when Pinch Sulzberger first arrived at the New York offices. Since then he alone has effected a remarkable transition --- in the paper and in the nation --- as a result of his interference in Massachusetts politics, beginning in 1999. He took full charge of the conglomerate in 1997 when he became Chairman.
This is a list that absolutely needs to be made public. I Can't help but wonder if Maureen Dowd is on it.
Excerpt
GETTING ON THE AIR, OR, YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE.
Without access to TV, radio, and the mainstream press, there will be no campaign. This is a tricky problem, became many impresarios of the media simply refuse to accept what they call "issue-advertising" -- persuasive advertising can provoke a storm of resentment from the public and from sponsors, which is bad for business. The courts have confirmed the broadcaster's right to refuse any "issue advertising" he dislikes.
What exactly constitutes "issue advertising"? It evidently does not include platitudinous appeals to the virtues of family unity (courtesy of the Mormons) neither does it include tirades against perfidious Albion courtesy of Lyndon LaRouche); neither does it include reminders that a Mind-Is-a Terrible Thing to Waste (courtesy of the United Negro College Fund); neither does it include religious shows which condemn gay "sinners"; neither does it include condemnations of nuclear war or race discrimination--at least not in Massachusetts. Some guys get all the breaks.
What issue advertising does include these days is almost any communiqué presented openly by a homosexual organization. The words "gay" and "homosexual"' are considered controversial whenever they appear.
Because most straightforward appeals are impossible, the National Gay Task Force has had to cultivate quiet backroom liaisons with broadcast companies and newsrooms in order to make sure that issues important to the gay community receive some coverage; but such an arrangement is hardly ideal, of course, because it means that the gay community's image is controlled by the latest news event instead of by careful design--and recently most of the news about gays has been negative.
So what can be done to crash the gates of the major media? Several things, advanced in several stages.
START WITH THE FINE PRINT Newspapers and magazines may very well be hungrier for gay advertising dollars than television and radio are. And the cost of ads in print is generally lower. But remember that the press, for the most part, is only read by better-educated Americans, many of who are already more accepting of homosexuality in any case. So to get more impact for our dollars, we should skip the New Republic and New Left Review readers and head for Time, People, and the National Enquirer. (Of course, the gay community may have to establish itself as a regular advertising presence in more sophisticated forums first before it is accepted into the mass press.)
While we're storming the battlements with salvos of ink, we should also warm the mainstream up a bit with a subtle national campaign on highway billboards. In simple bold print on dark backgrounds, a series of unobjectionable messages should be introduced:
IN RUSSIA, THEY TELL YOU WHAT TO BE. IN AMERICA WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO BE OURSELVES... AND TO BE THE BEST.
Or
PEOPLE HELPING INSTEAD OF HATING--THAT 'S WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT.
And so on. Each sign will tap patriotic sentiment, each message will drill a seemingly agreeable proposition into mainstream heads - a "public service message" suited to our purposes. And, if heir owners will permit it, each billboard will be signed, in slightly smaller letters, "Courtesy of the National Gay Task Force" - to build positive associations and get the public used to seeing such sponsorship.
This looks like a good pinger. Didn't read it yet but I will.
Cheers!
Bears repeating:
"It was not reported last Sunday, however, that three-quarters of the people who decide what appears on the front page of the New York Times are homosexuals, according to Richard Berke, the paper's National Political Correspondent, a longtime member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association."
No surprise to us on FR.
Arthur O. Shitburger is a Michael Moore propagandist with erectile dysfunction.
No wonder there are so many women looking to get laid by a real man - their Liberal boyfriends are too busy fondling each other.
Metrosexual males have done more for GOP male social status than Viagra.
- Homosexual Agenda PING -
There's no other word for this than "infiltration".
Anyone who reads this, and still doubts the existance of a clear agenda by these sick and morally bankrupt individuals is either a fool, or is living in denial.
Shame on us, though...shame on us for being "asleep at the switch" for so long, and allowing the roots of their mission to infiltrate nearly every organization that has an impact on us.
Call me paranoid...but there's a storm a' comin'...and it's not going to be pretty.

This was the homosexual community's biggest victory. It permitted them to claim that "homosexuality is normal" and set the stage to present this "normalcy" to the general public via a well planned media campaign ( outlined in 'The Overhauling of Straight America' ), and to kids in the public schools via Kevin Jennings' GLSEN. Kids as young as kindergarten age are now being indoctrinated with "homosexuality is normal."

BUMP - all the information about the homosexual agenda, all the time.
It's all here. Anyone who thinks there is no "gay" agenda, or that such agenda might be a good thing, here is a great opportunity to become enlightened.
No excuses for ignorance.
Bumping re the Gay Activists who control the NY Slimes!
"three-quarters of the people who decide what appears on the front page of the New York Times are homosexuals!"
Not only do they push the Gay agenda, they work 24/7/365 to weaken America, families, Christians and Jews who believe.
That 3/4 stat is probably about the same in most big city liberal newspapers.
Thanks for the ping.
"three-quarters of the people who decide what appears on the front page of the New York Times are homosexuals!"
Add the bisexuals, cross dressers and the NYC Metrosexuals and the % probably approaches 90% plus.
And the remaining few who aren't actually "practicing" are in their thrall.
I can't even look at a copy of the NYT. It make my gorge rise.
When you see a real hate GW article posted on FR, the probability that it came from an Aids infected Homosexual Maggot playing oped writer or reporter is very high.
They hate practicing Christians and Jews and conserverative Americans. The power these homosexual thugs have gained in 2 decades is scary. It is time to start removing their play pens or to make the liberal media very ineffective.
It's important to remember (I'm sure you do every day!) that the only reason the homosexual and assorted leftist jihadis have gained the ground they have is because we conservatives - especially people of faith type conservatives - have been wimps, mice, fearful little milquetoasts. Time to grow a pair, gain a spine, and kick *ss. I mean this in the nicest possible way.
The time of trying to stay comfortable and secure and let someone else fight the fight is over.
If each of us do whatever we can do, we can turn it around. Everyone can do *something*.
Well, a) if it's 75% of the front-page editors (editors! -- you mean, they need more than one just for page one? -- are gay, sure, you'd have to wonder about the rest of the staff.
But Dowd's a columnist, and her vita doesn't reek of lesbianism -- she's too Irish and too Catholic, and she writes like she's both. Which causes me to doubt she's a lesbian. More like a prickly 90's careerist feminist, needing a man but unwilling to admit it even for a millisecond.
