The NYT is the new PRAVDA. I guess the managing editor is in line to be the Head of the Ministry of Information in the planned Kerry Coup.

The New Yorker mag endorsed Kerry, a first in it's 80 year history. I wonder how much that cost the Soros billionaire Axis of Weezils?

AND from MSNBC. The fix is in. Read this headline. MSNBC has it as a top story. Yet, read what Allawi actually said "some coalition forces". Gross bias. This is not a big story, but they are playing it like it is.

Anything that makes the Prez look bad is getting full attention. The MSM is waging a guerilla war against the Prez. Just like his old man.

I think sometimes down the road, braved and committed individuals should start a national campaign calling for a boycott against the New York Times unless they state in the front-page of their paper: This is a left-leaning newspaper. Much like what they did when they called for a boycott against CBS when the station planned to air a fraud Reagan movie.

Today, the paper circulation is about 1.2 millions, but the problem is its effect internationally. In many countries, together with AP and Reuters, NYT--as well as its international edition such as Herald Tribune and Japanese Shimbun-- are the main sources of global news. Combined with CNN, BBC and Al-Jazeera, you can imagine what kind of news they present to the world.

If a boycott is not a good idea, some independent organization should start investigate the link between the MSM and Kerry's camp. But perhaps this is like hoping Usama to surrender to the US.

The impact of the headlines doesn't hit you until you read down a bit and the light goes off

The NY Times has become just another leftest propoganda instrument playing the DNC talking points.
