An Observation on the NYT Cover Coverage of Syria

WaPo cover oozes sarcasm and distrust over Trump's decision to lob a bunch of bombs at an empty air force base in Syria in defense of people he has banned from the US for being a bunch of "terrorists." They even have a story about Lawrence O"Donnell and "Wag the Dog."

NYT, on the other hand, up until now a leader in the "Let's Impeach Trump" movement, appears to love watching a dog wag its tail. Does this mean that all Trump has to do win the NYT is start another middle east war? Shades of Judy Miller. I just might have to cancel my NYT subscription if they keep this up.

Thumbs up for Washington Post. Thumbs down to the New York Times. Bombing Syria does NOT decrease the chance of another 9-11 attack or make Israel stronger. It does distract from Trump's treason and make oil futures rise.
