Busted! Lawrence Eagleburger outs the New York Times

On Fox News Channel’s hit debate show “Hannity and Colmes”, former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger inarguably exposed the anti-Bush bias of the New York Times for all to see. Secretary Eagleburger recounted how he was approached by the Times to write an op-ed piece. The Times told him, explicitly, to be critical of the administration.

This is an indisputable example of how the Times bends the news and its editorials to forward its radical left-wing agenda.

Boycott the NY Times!

[Im Your Huckleberry]

They don't call it the New York Slimes for nothing...

[William McKinley]

O'Reilly also had on how the LA Times ran a doctored photo on the front page making it look like a soldier was pointing his weapon at unarmed civilians.

[CHICAGOFARMER]

Time to say taps for a Liberal ass newspaper . . .

Military Taps

"The Times told him, explicitly, to be critical of the administration."

Did Eagleburger name names? I want these commies outed once and for all.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Heard it.

How pathetic it must be to belong to a political party that views itself more important than the nation.

[BRL]

I heard Eagleburger. He used words like "no negotiating" and "kill the enemy". I am amazed at how we can use plain words these days. Some of the PC feel good babble is getting stripped away, and I am happy for that.

[PhiKapMom]

Eagleburger was great! What a bombshell!

[noutopia]

Was there ever any dought?

[PhiKapMom]

G. Gordon Liddy coming up!

[Howlin]

I thought he said that happened back in 1991?

[jmstein7]

No.

I think they should look into this further -- get names, etc. This could be huge in starting to really bring down the NY Times.

[chimera]

Not only is it biased, its just plain dumb. Why would they be so blatant? Anyone with any sense will know enough not to ask someone like Eagleburger to deliberately slant his piece.

If they wanted criticism, there's plenty of places they can go for that. Hell, just turn over any rock in Hollyweird and some scumbag will slither out and be glad to write a hit piece on Bush.

[FrdmLvr]

No he didn't name names. I thought it was probably the op-ed editor.

"Boycott the NY Times!"

Thank you, and I have been! After a very clever marketing campaign that the NYT's had going on for graduate students about 10 years ago, I did have a NYT's subscription. They very aptly lock on to students on campii with very low rates, hoping they will continue. I didn't and I hope others will recognize what they are doing........

The L.A. Slimes didn't can the leftist for nothing

[Arpege92]

No way....that is way to honorable for the scum!

[jmstein7]

If I had $$$$$, I would offer to reimburse anyone who terminates a NYT subscription! I'd even pay to give 'em a year of the good ol' NY Post. Now THAT'S a good paper!

[AndyJackson]

I'm beginning to think that we need to recall our forces from Iraq. They are needed right here on the homefront to liberate us from the VLWC.

[jmstein7]

Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy? :)

[TEXOKIE]

Hi PKMom! Fox deprived here...what's Liddy saying???

[patriciaruth]

The photo didn't look like that at all IMO.

When my husband got his daily copy of the L.A. Times yesterday he started spouting angrily, "Look, they are making it look like the soldier is pointing the gun at the civilian's head!"

He grumbled about it for the rest of the day. Today he feels totally vindicated in his instinct that the photo was to make the U.S. military look bad.

[lawdude]

"How pathetic it must be to belong to a political party that views itself more important than the nation."

I have understood the Democraps to be just that for years. Totally power hungry maniacs. The people mean nothing to them.

I just hope a few more dems take a hard look at what they support from their leadership.

[Mustang]

No..no..no. It was w/in the last few days.

And don't forget...Larry E. wasn't a big fan of this from the get'go. But smart pols know when "diplomacy" is dead.

H2O-Gate is now on with Sean. G.G. Liddy IS the REAL DEAL!

He also plugged 4/12 Rally in DC before his spot ended.

Mustang sends from "Malpaso" News.

[MJY1288]

"I'm beginning to think that we need to recall our forces from Iraq. They are needed right here on the homefront to liberate us from the VLWC."

We don't need our troops to liberate us from the VLWC, they're doing a damn fine job of self destructing all by themselves

[CyberAnt]

The person who talked to Eagleburger is not important. The order would come from the top! = Howell Raines!

[wolf24]

" Some of the PC feel good babble is getting stripped away, and I am happy for that."

Agreed. How nice it is to hear a report about how our guys are turning RG suicide attackers into "piles of arms---knee deep (O'Reilly)." Not exaclty PC stuff.

[jungleboy]

Ho-Hum...tell us something we DON'T know...

[patriciaruth]

The people mean nothing to them.

Yeah, a good cartoonist would have the Dems using American children as human shields.

[antaresequity]

You can play taps brother but frankly thats a disgrace...

Dig a mass grave and Take a D9 and push them all in and bury them.

Taps is for heros

[rwfromkansas]

I hope they pursue this as a story.

[Reagan Man]

>>>Boycott the NY Times!

No respectable conservative should have anything to do with liberal publications like the NYTimes. 90% of American's have never even read the Times. Outside of leftwingers, who needs them.

[lonestar]

Is the man in blue carrying Elian?

Who did Hannity quote, "It took Janet Reno a month to beat the Branch Davidians." I loved it!!!

[Rockpile]

"He grumbled about it for the rest of the day. Today he feels totally vindicated in his instinct that the photo was to make the U.S. military look bad."

The soldier is not an American.

But that likely WAS the editor's intention.

[blam]

"O'Reilly also had on how the LA Times ran a doctored photo on the front page making it look like a soldier was pointing his weapon at unarmed civilians."

Yup. I've seen all the before - after photos here on FR.

[jmstein7]

Everyone should send this story to the New York Post. They'd probably print it in "Letters" and they might even pursue ir!

Email a copy of the story to:

cshaw@nypost.com;letters@nypost.com;letters@nypost.com

[patriciaruth]

My husband predicted the take down of the WTC in 1992. He's pretty savvy. He and David Horowitz had a nice little conversation about their renounced liberal days in a cloakroom at one of the 2001 Inaugural Balls. Like Horowitz he is savvy about libs and people.

You just aren't as aware of all the lib's mean, dirty little visual tricks that these guys are.

time to stop buying the times. It's available at most libraries.
also good idea to write to them

Hannity was quoting Rush.

Rush actually said it took 51 days for Reno to beat the Davidians

[PhiKapMom]

Colmes talked about how the UN is good at governing after the war and Liddy says -- no they are not -- the UN is only good for handing out food!

Now they have on Scott O'Grady -- one of them -- Hannity or colmes -- asked him what he flew. Scott said he flew an F-16 and one of them said -- off the carriers? I cracked up -- the look on Scott's face was priceless -- an F-16 off a carrier -- not in a million years. He is an Air Force pilot and they wanted to know if he flew off the carrier! Amazing!

[demkicker]

"The person who talked to Eagleburger is not important. The order would come from the top! = Howell Raines!"

I'd say that IS pretty damned important! Eagleburger's story needs to be told to the masses, every frigging detail. Turn the light on and watch the roaches scurry.

[Ole Okie]

I thought he said that happened back in 1991?

No, he said it happened last week. The Slimes now appears to be working solely on behalf of Saddamned.

[algol]

The LA Times fired the photographer that doctored that photo and ran an apology. This thread.

Although it's possible they just did that because they got caught.

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks for the report, PKMom! LOL!

[PhiKapMom]

When I first came on the Internet years ago I signed up at the NY Times to get news alerts and go visit their site -- after the first month I never went back! I had not realized until actually reading their site how liberal they were!

[rwfromkansas]

Flood the Foxnews e-mail addy's to pursue this story, flood Drudge etc.

This is huge and needs to be developed. The thought of hurting the Times even a bit makes me salivate.

Too bad I don't have sources inside the Times or I would try to work this one myself.

[Timesink]

Did Eagleburger name names? I want these commies outed once and for all.

He doesn't have to. Howell Raines. Howell Raines. Howell Raines. Howell Raines. Howell Raines. Named as executive editor just days before 9/11, and immediately ordered a radical leftward shift across the board. It is exceedingly common knowledge in the journalism community, and the paper has, in the last year and a half, lost a goodly percentage of its credibility as a result even within that sad little industry. And when the news media thinks you've gone too far to the left, that's really saying something.
