Prying open the Times

NY Times and Credibility

As I've written to the New York Times, if one can't trust the NYT to publish with honor, veracity, and ethical conviction, who can one trust? Certainly in the polical arena, and perhaps others, the New York Times has published all the news that Bush & Co. have approved of. It is truly a sad day when what was once THE journalistic standard becomes no better than a supermarket tabloid. My heart goes out to all the truly ethical, dedicated writers still working for the Times: must be quite difficult to go to work every day.

I can't but think that one of the principle reasons we are bound up in Iraq is the failure of a free press to report, and report honestly, all the events pre and post 9/11. Furthermore, I've read nothing repudiating ex-administration authors's views of this administration in dire need of investigation and impeachment.
