I'm wondering what the NYT is thinking with this barrage of disinformation that they have been spewing. Do they believe what they are saying or do they just believe the old Saul Alinsky rule, that if you tell a lie enough times, you can push it through to the other side?
I think they want to believe and as long as they have anti-Administration sources disclosing selective bits of info the NYT will continue to push it. The NYT can say "hey, we are not making it up, we are just reporting what our sources tell us." They have told this and other lies because they have been successful in pushing it though to the other side. Once refuting facts come out, they backtrack some, but never seem to retract completely whether it's attempted uranium purchases or the NSA eavesdropping program. Every argument has two sides, one side may not have all the facts on their side, but they can still argue it.
