Peter King has 'nothing but contempt' for New York Times

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the incoming chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, ripped into The New York Times Tuesday for telling him in a weekend editorial to tone down his rhetoric.

From King’s response, there is no indication he will do anything of the sort.

“I’m absolutely delighted that The New York Times would attack me,” he said in an interview with The Hill. “I have nothing but contempt for them. They should be indicted under the Espionage Act. … The New York Times is just basically being a mouthpiece for political correctness.”

In its editorial, the Times said King’s “sweeping slur on Muslim citizens is unacceptable.” It also accused him of too much “blather” and “bluster” on a host of national security issues, saying King "has popped off far too often in recent years, claiming, among other things, that President George W. Bush ‘deserves a medal' for authorizing waterboarding."

fatherland security committee??

oh the humanity..........

Way before the 2004 vote, "It is all over but the counting and we handle the counting." was the
quote. (rough)

In my view, it's far too gentle and kind.

I'm glad he's not my representative
I don't like that moron

I look back at all the papers I used to subscribe to such as the NYT, The Boston Globe, etc, and they all made the same mistake back in the mid 90's, they allowed the editorial page to jump to the front page. Of course this came with the careless disregard for good journalism and cheapened the stories they actually covered to the point that there is no point in paying money for them anymore.

Sure the internet played a part by allowing access to the stories that the papers were choosing not to cover, but by foregoing any journalistic ethics at all, it has led us to the jokes of FOX/MSNBC, all the BS hardly fit to air.

Isn't that part of the GOP party platform?
