Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Elisabeth Bumiller says Bush loves his friends from south of the border. Jose Canseco remembers it differently.
  • Answer: Why is Bumiller still reporting on the Admin?

    Because the Times doesn't acknowledge when its reporters (mind you, this is different for its columnists) have a conflict of interest, until they have dragged themselves through the muck and mire via criminal investigations seasoned with imprisonment for contempt of court. Only after the Times incurrs millions of dollars of legal fees does it (sometimes) acknowledge that there might be a problem.

    On a serious note: reporters like Bumiller, who are not only obviously biased, but also willing to hide the news (think Colbert) when it diverges from the propaganda they wish to diseminate, should be fired.
