We already know to what lengths the NYT will go for a story, including instigating the deaths of innocent people

electrifying stories about 'concentration camps',"

I remember the picture of the old man looking INTO a metal fenced area. The caption make it seem like he was looking OUT FROM a concentration camp. I was shocked to see that this picture was used in an ad for the Newseum months or maybe years after the situation was debunked. It served its propaganda purpose at the time, however.

hmmm... why is it that US "journalists" can be pulled around by the nose by almost every foreign government, but distrust and completely discount their own? (at least when a Republican is in the White House)

The New York Times: still serving as the mouthpiece for good ol' Uncle Joe Stalin.

If Gutman knowingly used language evocative of the Nazi Holocaust in order to heighten the sensationalism of his not only fabricated but torture-induced story, he is a disgusting piece of filth. If he is Jewish, he is also a disgrace to the history of his people whose primary theme is the survival of a people despite totalitarians who would destroy them...totalitarians such as Stalin.

Enchante posted this reply on another thread about complete lies by so called Ny Slimes journalists.


"Just think about how many such fraudulent stories have been foisted upon the public through the years. Even now, when they know they are under more scrutiny than before, they continue to churn out such flagrantly bogus articles. They are INCORRIGIBLE."

So maybe the so called genocides/rapes etc supposedly committed by the Serbians were for the most part just lies of the Clintoonians and the NY Slimes and other fishwraps.

As a famous publisher once said, "You provide the pictures and I'll provide the war."

Americans unfortunately are slow to learn. Emotional stories (or better still, pictures) convey a message no priest, minister or rabbi ever could -- or would: "Let's go kick those b_st_rds' _sses!"

I don't like false news stories, but when government officials tell out-and-out lies that are unchallenged by the press we are really in bad shape. I recall a certain American general in charge of NATO in the late '90s telling some whoppers that led to air strikes against Serbia and our taking the side of the KLA in the war in Kosovo.

We can be thankful he never made it into the White House.

As a matter of background, the Sulzbergers have had a very long and close connection with Columbia University. They attended the university. They are donors. The have a close connection with the Columbia School of Journalism, and hire some of its graduates.

For many, many years they refused to write a positive story about New York University, even when there was a big news story, because they didn't want to help Columbia's competition. (That one point finally changed, but they are still biased toward Columbia.)

Naturally they get plenty of Pulitzers, because there are all sorts of incestuous connections with the people on the Pulitzer Prize Committee. It's a very cozy backscratching club.
