Does The NY TIMES Verify ANYTHING??????????????
Reputation is everything - their's is pretty much gone.

ROTFLMAO! After what's been posted on this board: Obama's a (multiple choice question here) Mulsim, Anti-Christ, Socialist, etc?
After Mike's post about Schumer with absolutely nothing to back it up.
And you tut tut, the loss of the NYTImes reputation! :lol: :lol:
You may or may not noted - I tend to stay out of the political discussion unless I actually have a question or something that I believe might add to the thread - I also actively avoid entering discussions with some people.
But .....
As a person who tends to sit in strange parts of the world for a great part of his life and wonder what the heck is going on - and used to actively scavenge this paper from various airport - yes I do.
There are a lot of us folks out here who truly did read it - because when you cannot find out anything about North America - you tend to grab on to anything you can from home. To us it was an anchor.
Now it is a rag - and you make light of it - whereas the unit I work with was actually quite disappointed.
I simply would really like to have a news outlet that is provides timely information that is not fabricated - we are generally capable of sorting out the bias and the sensationalism on our own - but if one story from a once respected media outlet is a fabrication - how many others have there been - what have we missed - with this very same newspaper?
How many lies - for and against the politician of your choice have they published?
Could you not agree with that or will my comments lead to me being in the middle of a spiteful, mud slinging, free for all with you for actually stating how I believe this is important?
Or you can just laugh at me - add more smilies - for considering this is a bad thing?
The fact remains that when something as once well respected as the NY Times goes down hill - caught in lies and cheating - we are truly on the slippery slopes.
Laugh at me if you wish - to me this is a travesty and an indicator of things to come. No matter your political stripe - surely this is important?
Merry Christmas
