NYTimes: We Won't Publish "Statements that Were Never Intended for the Public Eye."
Weekly Standard ^ | November 22, 2009 | Michael Goldfarb

Posted on 11/22/2009 7:08:14 PM PST by gusopol3

This is the position of the New York Times when given the chance to publish sensitive information that might hinder the liberal agenda. Of course, when the choice is between publishing classified information that might endanger the lives of U.S. troops in the field or intelligence programs vital to national security, that information is published without hesitation by the nation's paper of record.

Its time, the NYT is going down. The NYT we receive here in FL is about the size of the NY Daily News opened. We can’t even get a weeks worth of use in the parrot cage.

Their reasoning is , Palin’s such a publicity hound, everything she does is intended for the public eye.

Set the cage out on the balcony. The parrot should like that. Lots of smells, noises, stuff.

Besides, he's probably as bothered by the NYT's propaganda as you are. Parrots are, after highly intelligent and sensitive beings.

That's just naked partisanship covered by the world's smallest fig leaf.

I didn't think the NYT could shock me with its bias anymore, but I have to say the boldness of this drivel does surprise me.

NYTimes: We Won’t Publish “Statements that Were Never Intended for the Public Eye.”

Or report on a Democrat VP candidate’s sexcapades (Breck Boy!)

Btw, the NYT endorsed Mondale over Reagan in 1984, which kinda tells you all you need to know, ya know?

What grotesque hypocrites they've proven themselves to be.

Even their liberal readers have to recognize the hypocrisy in this statement.

The Washington Post wasn’t so punctilious about stolen information back when the Pentagon Papers were released.

Fascinating logic from the paper that published the Pentagon Papers.

It was actually the New York Times, the WP only wishes it had.

7 posted on Sunday, November 22, 2009 3:33:47 PM by Plutarch

The Times and the Post both published their own stories and had no problem whatsoever in publishing illegally obtained materials. The Times got it first though, you are correct.

And there’s always “Deep Throat.” That was the WaPo. Leaked info is good when it tattles on Right wing wrong doing. Leak on a Lib, however, and you are a dirty “rat.”

From Wikipedia: "New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971), was a United States Supreme Court per curiam decision. The ruling made it possible for the New York Times and Washington Post newspapers to publish the then-classified Pentagon Papers without risk of government censure."

“prestige press” = whores

Mann concludes by buttering up Revkin:

Fortunately, the prestige press doesn’t fall for this sort of stuff, right?

Of course not! Revkin replies, “Thanks heaps.”

Not that I would defend the NYSlimes but this is a BLOG this article is talking about which by definition is a personal view point.

So it is the choice of this blogger and not the policy of the NYSlimes not to publish the emails.

I at least will withhold my judgment on the NYSlimes on this issue until they publish an article about the liberated info. (No doubt I will then be enraged by their view point).

As for this blogger if he ignores the emails he can not call himself a believer in the scientific method. The evidence in the emails is very damning. These people were engaged in a coordinated effort to defraud the scientific community.

But he does seem to be their premier climate reporter and is personally mentioned in the e-mails, so he seems close to the heart of the matter.

So is a part of the conspiracy or just a hanger on?
