DO YOU CARE, I MEAN REALLY CARE, ABOUT THE NEW YORK TIMES? Every blog, every newspaper, every half baked "columnist" piles on. Anybody with a brain knows that it is the publisher and only the publisher who is at fault. He is a Left Wing ideologue who has turned a liberal paper that has been slanting the news for decades into an obvious Left Wing hack job. Period. Any of us who have done serious research, meaning really digging into multiple sources for a piece of writing, has known that you cannot rely on the New York Times. They supported Stalin back in the 1930's for Christ sakes to name just one result of my own research of long ago. Getting the truth without frills is very difficult if a paper is paying for "volume", how many words you produce, interviews you conduct, colorful background you supply. These "writers" all think they are writing a daily novella, their readers want daily novellas, and for that crowd The New York Times is the result.

Cutting to the chase: The paper is corrupt. Their reporters are left wing, the editors are left wing, the publisher is left wing. Period.
