Do you think the NYT invented stories......

They have a record of doing just that.


Perhaps you should read the article vulgarity deleted

I did, but that changed nothing. The Times still has a record of making
stuff up.


It's shameful to hear you repeating what others have told you to say. What
facts are your opinion based on?

Who? Told me to say what? Does the name Blair mean anything? And that
other guy - names eludes me - also gone from NYT over fabrication.

My memory's fuzzy with regard to those incidents. How many occurrences were
there?

Those and a couple of others, iirc. For a newspaper that wants to preserve
the perception that they are the paper of record for the USA, any number
greater than zero is disastrous. They also tailor their selective wording
for subtle innuendo, as does the Boston Globe (now naught more than a
suburban supplement to the Times). All through the last campaign, the
intentions were obvious. Whenever Kerry met with some group to ask for
support, column heads would be phrased as Kerry meets...., Kerry
confers....., Kerry solicits. When GB did the same thing, the wording was
more aggressive, more violent: Bush hits......, Bush targets......, Bush
chases. Its was never too hard to see what was going on.

What did the NYT do with the reporters who faked their stories?

They have fired the ones who have been caught at it, as they had no choice.

Thanks for the information. To summarize, a few reporters did this, and they
were fired. Now, do you ever shop at Home Depot?
