See here: I am running an email I received from an Atlas reader in Norway. It is devastating in its matter-of-factness. Well, yes, the situation is worsening. Stepping up from 29 000 immigrants every year, in 2007 we will be getting a total of 35 000 immigrants from somalia, iran, iraq and afghanistan. The nations capital is already 50% muslim, and they ALL go there after entering Norway. Adding the 1.2 births per woman per year from muslim women, there will be 300 000+ muslims out of the then 480 000 inhabitants of that city. Orders from Libya and Iran...

The latest edition of the New York Times’s Sunday magazine gave conservatives a rare opportunity to repurpose Times Executive Editor Bill Keller as a pinata, though the paper’s intent may have been to make its conservative critics look irrational. Readers responded bluntly to Keller’s trashing of Sarah Palin in his column for the June 19 issue, in which he claimed “most journalists would recoil in horror from the idea” of a Palin presidency. The Times printed a full page of letters, a dozen in all, from insulting Keller critics and Palin sympathizers. A few were incisive: You write that only...

On NPR's weekend show On The Media (produced by radio station WNYC), New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller reacted badly to NPR's Bob Garfield suggesting Julian Assange of WikiLeaks was a "looter" or a smasher of windows. Keller insisted the document dump has "more value" than that metaphor, that the dump is "absolutely fascinating...like a graduate seminar" on international relations. It's a "ridiculous standard" to insist these finds must be Earth-shattering to be a positive development: BOB GARFIELD: Now, the stories so far have been revealing but unsurprising, it seems to me, and not especially indicting.

A federal probe into campaign spending and two publicly funded nonprofits led Wednesday to raids on the offices of State Rep. William F. Keller (D., Phila.), the home of city Traffic Court Judge Robert Mulgrew, and the suburban office of a prominent political consultant. The FBI and the IRS are looking at whether money from Keller's political action committee was used for noncampaign purposes, according to two sources familiar with the investigation. Authorities are also scrutinizing finances related to two nonprofits: the South Philadelphia Area Revitalization Corp. (SPARC), a taxpayer-funded nonprofit established by Keller, and Friends of Dickinson Square Community...

"It’s a Sunday evening at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, and the pews are full.

The news media's credibility is sagging along with its revenue. Nearly two-thirds of Americans think the news stories they read, hear and watch are frequently inaccurate, according to a poll released Sunday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. That marks the highest level of skepticism recorded since 1985, when this study of public perceptions of the media was first done. The poll didn't distinguish between Internet bloggers and reporters employed by newspapers and broadcasters, leaving the definition of "news media" up to each individual who was questioned. The survey polled 1,506 adults on the phone...

STANFORD, Calif. -- New York Times executive editor Bill Keller spoke at Stanford Thursday to mark the opening of a new building for The Stanford Daily -- an event he acknowledged might feel a little like a "ribbon-cutting" for "a new Pontiac dealership." Among Keller's observations about the "unnerving future" of newspapers: On the NYT: Keller predicted that the Times will be "left standing after the deluge." Noting that readers have offered to donate money to keep the Times alive, Keller suggested that GM probably isn't getting similar offers.

Keller stated, “Senator’s Obama and Clinton have been in the public, aggressively promoting that they were people of faith. Obama especially, has had a clear strategy to promote himself as a Christian. I have every right and responsibility under my exemption to deal with their statements and educate the public on these issues.

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. Jonah 1: 2 KJV The powerful verse of warning taken from the prophecies of Jonah is the impetus and the foundation of Evangelist Bill Keller’s “Jonah Project.” Bill says the Jonah project is “a huge vision, from a huge God.” The scope of Keller’s project is enormous but everything he has done so far is not only on a large scale but has a prophetic and radical approach that is anything but the religious status quo.

In a flood of bestsellers by skeptics and atheists charging a nonexistent God with crimes against humanity, Timothy Keller stands out as an effective counterpoint and as a defender of the faith.

Bill Keller, executive editor of the New York Times, is trying to use his paper's Spitzmas story to lend credence to its recent John McCain contrivance: "[A] day after Spitzer resigned in disgrace following the Times' revelations that he had frequented a high-priced hooker ring on several occasions, Keller, in a phone interview with E&P, clearly saw some room to boast."It certainly has had the same volume of reaction, sometimes a good story is just a good story," he said about comparisons to the McCain report. "We certainly took our share of heat on the McCain story. The McCain story...

Today, Michigan Republican Pete Hoesktra sent a scathing letter to NYT executive editor Bill Keller, detailing what Hoekstra called the Times' "...recklessness in repeatedly disclosing highly classified intelligence programs to enemies who seek to attack our nation," and the Times' coverage of the Foreign Intelligence Act amendments. Hoekstra said of the Times' editorial titled, "The Fear of Fear Itself," "The only real basis for "fear" here is the scare tactics being perpetuated by the Times, which has knowingly and willfully misrepresented the new law to scare the American people."

Beside a patently obtuse view of the war and a penchant for awful and insulting analogies?

Speaking two-and-a-half months after the 2006 elections, Keller allowed that he's feeling "a little vindication." And who can blame him? The "fusillade" of criticism directed at the Times , from both the right and the left, has slowed down, to Keller's relief. "I can focus more on journalism, not rebuttals," he points out. Bloggers lashed out in December 2005 when Times reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau disclosed that President Bush had secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on people living in the U.S. to unearth evidence of terrorist activities without the standard court-approved warrants. Bush had tried...

New York Times editor urges media to do what it does best 01:00 AM EDT on Saturday, September 30, 2006 BY SCOTT MacKAY Journal Staff Writer PROVIDENCE -- The editor of The New York Times yesterday told a group of New England reporters, editors and newspaper executives that they spend too much time worrying about the economic future of the news business and too little time turning out top-flight journalism.

The Times' executive editor accuses the Bush White House of stirring up a "partisan hatefest" against the paper over its revelation of an anti-terrorist program that monitored international banking transactions. Deep inside New York magazine's front-page profile of Times Executive Editor Bill Keller (ludicrously called a "true centrist" by writer Joe Hagan) is this gem about his reaction to White House criticism of the paper's exposure of its tracking of international banking transactions for terror clues: "They pissed me off....I think the administration is genuinely distressed that we ran the story over their objections. I think they were embarrassed by...

The United States of America vs. Bill Keller How hard is it to be executive editor of the New York Times today? The White House calls him a traitor. He gets roasted every day on talk shows and blogs.

Bush, and listened. For a meeting without...

The New York Times' public editor, Byron Calame, publishes a startling admision from Bill Keller regarding the publication delay of the most explosive story in his short reign as managing editor. Earlier, when Keller told people that the NSA surveillance story got delayed from December 2004 based on requests from the White House, speculation circulated that the story had actually gotten shelved before the presidential election. Now Calame confirms that Keller lied about the publication history of the Lichtblau/Risen effort: Keller has destroyed what's left of his paper's credibility. He lied to everyone about the timing of this publication, baldly...

The New York Times plans to cut 250 jobs and shrink the size of its pages in 2008, making them 3.8 centimetres narrower, the newspaper reported in yesterday's edition. The newspaper's plans include closing a printing plant in Edison, N.J.The moves were estimated to save the company $42 million per year. The reduction in the size of its pages would mean a loss of 11 per cent of the space devoted to news, but the newspaper plans to add pages to make up for about half of that loss.

NY Times Reporter Body Armor Vulnerability Analysis Author: Red Square, Location: Karl Marx Treatment Center Post Posted: 7/8/2006, 3:30 pm Earlier this year the New York Times courageously exposed vulnerabilities of US body armor, accompanying the story with a controversial diagram and a leaked Pentagon paper in a PDF file, identifying the best areas to shoot at.

"The Pentagon released the results of their secret research despite our strongest...

A t opinion-writers school, right after you learn "all money is fungible," "now comes the hard part" and "(INSERT NAME OF LATEST WAR) has become another Vietnam -- a quagmire," you're ready to tackle the lesson of Watergate: "It's not the crime; it's the cover-up." It grows more tempting every day to say just that about The New York Times' decision to publicize the U.S. government's top-secret program to track suspected terrorists' financial transactions. Except for one thing: A disclosure like this in wartime is the crime. New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller's defense of the disclosure is only...

WASHINGTON, DC, MONDAY, JULY 3, 2006--The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com and the online watchdog Accuracy in Media (www.AIM.org) held a press conference and demonstration Monday at the Washington, D.C., bureau of the New York Times to protest the newspaper's publishing of stories exposing national security intelligence programs. The two conservative groups called for the prosecution of New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Executive Editor Bill Keller and reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau for "giving aid and comfort to al-Qaida." The initial group of 14 FReepers, led by FreeRepublic's National Spokesman Kristinn Taylor, soon swelled to 29 protesters. They...

But each declined. "We had talked about doing something together," Steiger said.

The top editor of the New York Times said if he had it to do again, he would still publish his newspaper's controversial expose of a secret program monitoring global bank transfers, despite outrage from the Republican White House and members of Congress. Speaking on CBS television's "Face The Nation" program Sunday, Times executive editor Bill Keller said he did not regret his decision to run the story, which was condemned on Thursday in a vote by the Republican-led House of Representatives in a non-binding resolution. "I think it's useful for us to discuss, to know about how our government...

Since Sept. 11, 2001, newspaper editors have faced excruciating choices in covering the government's efforts to protect the country from terrorist agents. Each of us has, on a number of occasions, withheld information because we were convinced that publishing it could put lives at risk. On other occasions, each of us has decided to publish classified information over strong objections from our government. Last week our newspapers disclosed a secret Bush administration program to monitor international banking transactions. We did so after appeals from senior administration officials to hold the story. Our reports — like earlier press disclosures of secret...

The proper means of dealing with the NY Times, in a completely fair and above reproach manner is already in place.

After remaining mum for the past week, even as controversy swirled around newspapers' revealing the banking records surveillance program, the Wall Street Journal editoral page weighed in today. Although the Journal published its own story just hours after The New York Times -- which has taken the most heat -- its editorial defended its own action while blasting the Times. It even included a personal slam at Times' publisher, Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr. and said the Times did not want to win, but rather obstruct, the war on terror. Sulzberger responded this afternoon: "I know many of the reporters and...

Dear Bill Keller: Remember me? We met in the elevator here at The Oregonian recently. Your decision to expose a secret program to track terrorist funding got me to thinking I had better write and apologize. I don't think I was sufficiently deferential on our brief ride together. I treated you like the executive editor of The New York Times who used to work for The Oregonian. I had no idea I was riding with the man who decides what classified programs will be made public during a war on terror. I had no idea the American people had elected...

Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, suggested in a letter to readers this week that the newspaper's decision to reveal the existence of a secret government program tracing international banking records in pursuit of terrorists had nothing to do with politics, only good journalism. We don't buy it. Those who defend the newspaper say the revelation of the monitoring program lets the public know about the intensity of the government's scrutiny of private individuals. The media, it's true, should act as a check on government power. But in this instance, there is no suggestion that the program...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday blasted U.S. media for exposing details of highly secretive intelligence programs and asked the Bush administration for a formal damage assessment. Sen. Pat Roberts (news, bio, voting record), a Kansas Republican, asked U.S. intelligence chief John Negroponte to report particularly on any damage to President George W. Bush's domestic spying program and another secret program by the Treasury Department that tracks private bank records. "Numerous, recent unauthorized disclosures of sensitive intelligence programs have directly threatened important efforts in the war against terrorism," Roberts, a staunch White House ally,...

September 24, 2001 New York Times editorial ("Finances of Terror") (access limited to TimesSelect): "Organizing the hijacking of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon took significant sums of money. The cost of these plots suggests that putting Osama bin Laden and other international terrorists out of business will require more than diplomatic coalitions and military action. Washington and its allies must also disable the financial networks used by terrorists."

MANY READERS have been sharply critical of our decision to publish an article Friday on the U.S. Treasury Department's program to secretly monitor worldwide money transfers in an effort to track terrorist financing. They have sent me sincere and powerful expressions of their disappointment in our newspaper, and they deserve an equally thoughtful and honest response. The decision to publish this article was not one we took lightly. We considered very seriously the government's assertion that these disclosures could cause difficulties for counterterrorism programs. And we weighed that assertion against the fact that there is an intense and ongoing public...

The dynamics of the U.S. House District 8 race against incumbent Ric Keller, R-Orlando, were changed at the 11th hour when Democratic candidate Alan Grayson joined the race. Grayson, a millionaire attorney whom The Wall Street Journal described as waging a one-man war against contractor fraud in Iraq, brings a personal fortune that could upset the campaign war chest balance that once had Keller clearly on top financially. It also puts Grayson financially atop other Democratic challengers -- Orange County Commissioner Homer Hartage and businessman Charlie Stuart. But Aubrey Jewett, a University of Central Florida political science professor, points out...

The Bush administration, seeking to limit leaks of classified information, has launched initiatives targeting journalists and their possible government sources. The efforts include several FBI probes, a polygraph investigation inside the CIA and a warning from the Justice Department that reporters could be prosecuted under espionage laws. In recent weeks, dozens of employees at the CIA, the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies have been interviewed by agents from the FBI's Washington field office, who are investigating possible leaks that led to reports about secret CIA prisons and the NSA's warrantless domestic surveillance program, according to law enforcement and...
