NEW YORK TIMES PHONY WEAPONS STORY -- you might want to call them at (212) 556-1234

Good idea to also call the NY Daily News at 212-210-2100, ask for the Washington news desk then for James Gordon Meeks..he wrote a story titles "Bushies guilty of big bang snafu in Iraq".

This is clearly Kerry's and the DNC's attempt at an October surpise story and the MSM are set to play it up big no matter what the facts are. It is equivalent to the 2000s DUI news dump within the last week before that election. DEMS keep with the same script. Have to hit the MSM hard to get them off their set plan toi aid Kerry this way. I am sure the news stories were written a few weeks ago and are set to run this week no matter what.
It keeps Bush on the denfense and attnetion off kerry's negatives even if in the end the story is finally show to be a non-starter. That is what the DEMS what the last week.


Of course if it opens up the fact that Syria got Saddam's WMDs and or their components, that is thin ice for the RATS and the UN.

would someone remove the Troll please

[mplsconservative]

I sent them a scathing e-mail last night.

This was their reply:

I loved the part about "when referring to a specific article please include its date, section and headline." As if they don't know which article I was referring to. Sheesh!

[American Sovereignty Defender]

Seems that Jayson Blair must have contributed to this NYT story with his "fact finding".

The facts that are surfacing about the story are imploding it.

[Acrobat]

We might have a problem guys.

Only problem we have is with first time posters, who sign up today trying to disrupt! You manifest all the symptoms, qw3rty, of being a Troll... And indeed, in reading the piece you suggest, I feel certain about that... begone.

[Enterprise]

sorry - correction - 380 tons.

[Constantine XIII]

Oh, you mean (212) 556-1234?

(212) 556-1234 ?

Like that?

or

(212) 556-1234 ?

Like that?

when do I get to print out my NEW YORK SLIMES LIES bumpersticker?! We ned to get them out now, especially in New York!

[God luvs America]

Here's how to contact the Times...and believe me it is working.

Phone number is (212) 556-1234 then hit the following prompts: 5-then-1-then-4. That will bring you to the foreign desk. I got the guy ruffled demanding a retraction to the story based on the NBC-news revelations.

His response? "No, we have an official source who confirmed the story." I shot back asking if this was an official from the kerri campaign or the infamous source "Mr. Anonymous" the Times always quotes...after several seconds of silence the dope told me "please hold if you have a reaction to the story" and tried to connect me elsewhere....

CALL NOW...THEY ARE ON THE ROPES!

BTW: NY Daily News Readers, ...I called James Meek in their Washington Bureau who wrote a similar story today entitled "Bushies guilty of big bang snafu in Iraq" which is another take on the Slimes story...besides leaving a message on his voice mail Mr. Meek left his cell # in Washington, (202-236-1931) which I called and left a meesage on as well.

[pointsal]

....NOW, I like that! Litigate the bastards with RICO allegations!!! Great thought!

[God luvs America]

Here's how to contact the Times...and believe me it is working.

Phone number is (212) 556-1234 then hit the following prompts: 5-then-1-then-4. That will bring you to the foreign desk.

Call NOW!  They are on the Ropes as I made four calls demanding a retraction!

See post #50!

[Mygirlsmom]

First it was Jayson Blair. Now it seems the NYT has a new "star":

NEVERMIND!

[DestroytheDemocrats]

"On Fox & Friends this morning, they were still reporting this story as fact--I don't know if they retracted the story later on, but after I saw this, I shut the TV off."

At about 9:00 am on FOX, a blonde female reporter traveling with Kerry reported the first NYT story then clearly reported on the NBC story which contradicts it. She made it perfectly clear that the weapons were gone when the coalition got there.

[Edit35]

I am also ticked at Fox News for the way they are reporting this explosives story, considering that everyone now knows that the NYTimes initial story was bogus (as usual).

Fox News SHOULD be leading today's newscast along the lines of "Embedded reporters who accompanied US soldiers during the Iraq liberation have confirmed that explosives the NYTimes yesterday claimed are missing were in fact removed from that facility before US forces even arrived in that country."

Instead, even Fox News is being deceptive in how they are parroting what the partisan media reported in the first place.

How frustrating is that?

[Enterprise]

I called and talk to the man who answered. I told him I think NYT should retract their story about the missing WMD in Iraq. I told him I thought NBC had already covered the story quite nicely. The man said "That's your opinion, thank you."

[EDINVA]

ESPECIALLY over the next week you will read all the news their editors want you to ! they will worry about retractions and accuracy later.

G*d willing, come 11/3 the huge loser of this year's election is the MSM/

[EDINVA]

NYT "poppsed" this story arly only because 60 Minutes couldn't get a production ready quickly enough to run this coming SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31 ... TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION.

Media bias ???? nah

[God luvs America]

Good work..se we got them on the ropes as they are completely frustrated.
