Criticized for our principles: The New York Times takes on The Washington Times
The Washington Times ^ | August 17, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 08/16/2009 10:01:15 PM PDT by Abakumov

On Friday, the New York Times ran a front-page story about the origins of what they called the "stubborn yet false rumor that President Obama's health care proposals would create government-sponsored 'death panels' to decide which patients were worthy of living." The article listed The Washington Times editorial board as one of the sources of the "death panel" notion. The New York Times noted two of our editorials. Neither of those articles used the expression "death panels."

People are better off ALWAYS reading the Times and Post newspapaers.

(Of course, that IS the Washington Times and New York Post....)

NY Lib paper in a food fight with a NY (mostly) Conservative paper. They finally figured out how to sell newspapers. I’m not even in that industry and it has a high duhh factor for me.

Our stance on the issue has been consistent, fact-based and principled. Perhaps that is why our editorials have struck a chord. We look forward to continuing to shape the debate on this issue and other critical matters of public policy. We owe nothing less to our loyal readers and to the American people, and we thank the New York Times for calling attention to our work.

Sidebar: this is EXACTLY how SaraCuda ought to handle the OldMedia's and libnuts' criticism.
