“They (The New York Times) put it out just now because the jig is up and the paper desperately needs to pretend that they it’s ahead of events to preserve the last shreds of its credibility.”

How can credibility be restored where it never existed? The NYT has been on the wrong side of nearly every major story that occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Walter Duranty lied to the entire country about Soviet communism in 1922. The New York Times hasn't told the truth since.

John, unfortunately true. This is right out of the Marxist-Alinsky playbook.

Uncontrolled spending making the populace dependent of the gov't teat.

rd3, so true!! How they get recognized as the “Newspaper of Record” in the publishing world is beyond me unless that term is used with sarcasm.
