Excellent! Deceivers in the media exposed. NYT, even while its foundation is crumbling, keeps up the practices which have caused its decline.

Reminds me of the old Soviet Propaganda joke:

An American and a Soviet were haveing a race.

The American won.

The Soviet Newspapers reported it thus:

SOVIET RACER PLACES SECOND IN RACE, AMERICAN COMES IN NEXT TO LAST!

LOL that reminds me of the joke I once heard regarding a boy who lived in massachusettes that defended his friend from a vicious pit bull attack. the attack was witnessed by a reporter from the boston globe who had visions of the headline "young boy saves friend from pit bull"..upon interviewing the boy, the reporter found that he was a Bush supporter (not Kerry), backed the NRA and was for smaller government. once the reporter decided the boy was a conservative and not a liberal, the actual headline was "Young boy mercilessly kills beloved family pet".

Reminds Me of another. President Bush and Poppy Bush were out fishing one day. Unbeknownst to them not far away was a boatload of New York Times reporters on a fishing excursion. After a while, the reporters notice The presidents boat, and watch it from afar. Then suddenly, a gust of wind blows poppy Bush's hat off into the water. President Bush, not missing a beat jumps out of the boat, walks across the water, retrieves the hat and returns to the boat. This is witnessed by the whole boatload of reporters. The headline in the next day's NYT?

"BUSH CAN'T SWIM"

You wisely and correctly did not include illegals among minorities. They are rapidly becoming a large voting block for the democrats.

Being on the left coast, I didn't check the Market Indexes until 7 am PST/10 am EST. At that time most indexes had a nice gain with the exception of the Gold/Silver index and the oil index.

I checked back an hour later and most of the indexes are down based on this story with the doom and gloom headlines.

The NY Slimes and the other maggot infested left wing pseudo news outlets have a full bore attack on our country, our president and us.

This gloom and doom type of headlines has driven down many of the indexes which started off very well today.

The good news is the NY Slimes, stock NYT, continues to drop like a duck with terminal bird flu.

If the Times gets any more biased, it will become a parody of itself.

If there is an upside, and at present there isn't, Latinos are usually Catholic, hard working, and conservative. That would be fine if they would do things legally. The downside is that the Communists on both sides of the border are also hard at work making victims of them and demanding government support. That is part of the Communists/Democrats uncanny ability to get us to pay for our downfall.

Another similar ploy they use, especially the Democrats, is to say that we claim as a country to be good so we must follow all rules to the letter. They, on the other hand are evil, although they won't vocalize that, so they feel free to act evil and break all the rules.

Like Charlie Brown and the football, we get angry and denounce the ploy but eventually we fall for it once again.
