Jim DiEugenio: Why the New York Times Deserves to Die!

Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 07:10 PM by CTKA-Probe

The New York Times is not a Liberal nor broadminded paper (as Al Baldwin seems to opine).

Its investigative journalism has been sorely lacking.

Where were they for the real stories of last century?

Jim DiEugenio the head of CTKA reminds us why its seemingly imminent passing need not be mourned
by the likes of Alex Baldwin but celebrated.

Jim can also be heard discussing this on Black Op Radio show 471.

9. It's about which stories are investigated, covered . . .

not being skewed one way or the other. The NYTs sets the national agenda for what is news. What will set it after its gone?

5. And you would replace it with?????? The Times may not be a far left manifesto.

Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 08:28 PM by Walk away

but it is the only thing that stands between a news vacuum and the Wall Street Journal.

In Northern Bergen country it is considered a leftist rag. Conservatives hate it with a passion. When someone around here wants to figure you out quick they ask you if you read the NYT or the WSJ. I am sure that wingnuts think the Journal isn't right wing enough.

And after having read the entire article all I have to say is that wanting to destroy the paper for a slanted Kennedy article is awfully unproductive.

7. NY Times is the battered wife of the Conservatives

Puts up only mild resistance to the monster known as CIA and predator capitalism. Then always backs down when it comes time to arrest the beast.

Our "anti conspiracy nuts" would be well advised to do some hard research. Starting with CE 399 here:
