If that's their idea of "assertive response" they may as well sell their physical plant and capital to The Racing Forum or some other useful service.

Yeah, a committee. That ought to fix the Times.

Reminds me of an IBM project that I was on. Despite my warnings; IBM took a $60 million write-off. Now they have sold this piece to the Chinese (as I type on a Think Pad). One wonders. Cheers.

I'd give anything if the congregation could have advance warning and had rounded up every garden snake they could find. Put the garden snakes in a basket, and when the NYT reporter walks in the door, pull 'em out and start dancing!

There's nothing like gratifying the expectations of gullible liberals....




WoooooHoooooo! LOL!

Truth... journalism... New York Times...

Do those three items belong on the same line? It just seems so alien.

Ah yes, the New York Times. Always and ever will be "all the news that's fit to line a birdcage".

The committee, made up of 11 editors, 6 reporters, a copy editor and a photographer,

Nobody who is outside the employment of the Times and no mention of monitoring for bias in headlines and articles.

Telling.

I have been a very vocal critic of the MSM. But if they will start being more like Fox News, then I will be open to them.

I don't know if the New York Times will be more conservative, but I don't want to put road blocks in the path of them doing that.

They can open their doors to more discussions on religion [as cited in the article]. Last year, they attacked Archbishop Charles J Chaput, and pulled back a bloody stump because of it, as well as giving the good Archbishp his own column for rebuttal. That gaff was very costly for the New York Times -- in a city with lots and lots of Catholic Churches.

Opening the doors to religion will help right things [in a literal sense]. Good Christians and Orthodox Jews will not stand for any non-sense.

"...and responding more assertively to the paper's critics."

Don't answer the doorbell.
Avoid uncovered windows.
Tape your car's hood and check your brakes.

.....the report cited limiting anonymous sources.......

In that vein, fictional sources should be entirely eliminated.

Check the tagline.

The solution is very simple, fire ALL you extreme left wing biased staff.

It will never really happen.

The liars of the NY Slimes will continue to lie and fabricate vile hate pieces posing as opeds and news.

When these lies and vile opeds are outed on the internet, the Slimes will lose more subscribers and advertisers.

Thanks!

Sounds like another marketing campaign by the Slimes.
