    Disapointment in the NY Times

    I am not by nature a conspiracy buff.

    Why the hatchet job on I.F. Stone in the NY Times book review of the new book on him? Are the conservatives, or neo-cons, or whatever they are, still trying to trash reputations? The NY Times continues to do good work, but the number of ideological supporters is staggering.

    The last part of Ron Suskind's new book "The One Percent Doctrine" describes a visit to Daniel Berrigan with one shocking quotation from Berrigan. "I never thought that I would live to see the day that old fashioned journalism would be seen as an act of civil disobediance."

    Wow!

    The corporate take over of the media today brings us the firing of the Editor of the LA Times. Maybe Keith Olbermann , Air America Radio and the blogs will bring the nation back to its senses.

    This means, back to a nation under law that speaks the truth.
