The Scar is quoting from the NYT 6 months ago when they reported Iran was a year from having nukes

[NNN0LHI]

Ever notice the Rethugs always point us to the NYT for information when they are lying to us?

Why do they do that? Any ideas?

1. He sure is beating the Iranian war drums. I don't get why; he enjoys the

controversy?

2. Joey the chin? Vinnie the nose??

3. Why? It's simple!

See, to their way of thinking, the NYT is the "liberals" bible. So if the NYT says it, it's just gotta be true, right?

I mean do you really think Judy Miller would lie to us?

4. Wish I had a nickel for every time someone used NYT as a source here at DU...

...on the run up to invading Iraq. That was the deal closer for many.

Funny thing is most if not all of those posters disappeared soon thereafter.

5. Yea, kinda strange how that happened.

Sorta like they was moles or something.

My all time fav MYT story is the one about the Pub (Rosenthal?) who, the day after the 900+ page Warren Commission Report was issued, publisher an editorial saying that the Report answered "every question" about the assassination.*

Now I can plow through a thick book fast enough, but 900 pages in one night!!!!!!!!

Even such a tender teen as myself at the time, detected a whiff of bullshit in that one!

The "old gray lady" is a source of information, not the final word.


*Please note that the above incident is there to comment on the New York Times and not the Kennedy Assassination. Any attempt to turn said comment into another one of those meaningless, boring, and quite frankly harmful to my slow dial-up connection, JFK thingmies will subsequently be ignored by the maker of said comment. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
