What a disgusting pile of crap from a once-great newspaper

If there was any doubt before about NYT being a mouthpiece for the Demonrats, then this should erase them.

Oh, and the “jobs bill” LOL,what a farce

They won’t pass a serious jobs bill, or raise the minimum wage, or reform immigration


The Slimes expects Republicans to act like Democrats...this isn’t Cuba yet!

The hottest competition in Washington this week is among House Republicans vying for a seat on the Benghazi kangaroo court, also known as the Select House Committee to Inflate a Tragedy Into a Scandal. Half the House has asked to “serve” on the committee, which is understandable since it’s the perfect opportunity to avoid any real work while waving frantically to right-wing voters stomping their feet in the grandstand. They won’t pass a serious jobs bill, or raise the minimum wage, or reform immigration, but House Republicans think they can earn their pay for the rest of the year by...

I haven't read a New York Slimes editorial in decades, so the shrill, abrasive tone of this one kind of surprised me to some extent. Obviously, I knew they would be partisan pro-'Rat, but this is the kind of no holds barred rhetoric that you would not even expect to hear from Jay Carney. They are going to way more of a rhetorical extreme in excoriating the House Select Committee - even before it's established - than they ever would do in years past with any House or Senate committee, even HUAC or Sen. Joseph McCarthy's committee, for example. It's the tone that's so completely changed, from scholarly to off-the-wall, from an era when they were considered by most the number one daily newspaper in the country to today, when they are not much better than cover wrapping for the bottom of your bird cage.

I see the times did not answer any of the questions that were asked of the press by trey gowdy.

We are in interesting times, indeed. Things need to move quickly though, dragging it out will lead to public disinterest on both sides.

The people at the New York Times see the world from a position of attitude, swagger, and false superiority.

Their paper is dying, the public doesn't trust or respect them, and their jobs are on the chopping block...

This kind of op-ed is the end-result.

If this had happened under George Bush the little twerps at the New York Times would be screaming for a special prosecutor.

New York Times 'integrity’ : the ONLY thing that matters is who's ox is being gored. They have no priniples beyond that... I wonder, could this have anything to do with their endless staff cutbacks?

Yes. It certainly is loud and shrill.

I had a couple of teachers at the prep school I went to who taught me to analyze newspapers and magazines for hidden bias, and I also wrote for our school newspaper. So I was able to detect the bias in the NY Times and other sources even back in the 1950s.

It has gotten steadily worse over the years. Now, it seems that they don’t even bother to try to hide their bias.

Still, that is an amazingly shrill editorial for what was once a dignified newspaper. Even at first glance, the most oblivious reader can tell that someone has gotten their goat. Not that that matters any more to the few readers the Times has left.

Come to think of it, FWIW, there was a pretty heavy TV ad campaign for subscriptions to the NY Times in the NYC market. But it seems like it has disappeared over the last few months.
