It's time to boycott the N.Y. Times

[Ugnmoose]

Email everyone you know and tell them if they subscribe to the Times or buy it at the newstand to write a letter to the editor telling him that they are canceling because they can no longer support an organization that violates every principle of legitimate jouranlistic standards. As if Judy Miller was not enough. Now we learn that the Times sat on the illegal spy story for one frikkin year "at the request of the Administration". Holy Shit! How more blatant can it get! When subscriptions start plummeting and advertisers take note and start pulling ads. Maybe just maybe the damn stockholders at the Times will call for heads to roll, starting with that Right Wing Corporate Shill Publisher Sulzberger. It seems that money and power are the only two things that guide the Times and the rest of the MSM for that matter. So let's show them the money - going out of the door!

1. GREAT POINT.

Until they replace that boy child idiot, Sulzberger, the paper is lost at sea. And worse.
I agree, (but I started early).
Let us boycott the TIMES, I so second and so vote.

4. Could not disagree with you more.

I would expect a media outlet to sit on something if told by the government that it would seriously breach security if revealed.

They were told that, were they not?

They continued to look at the matter, and finally decided they were being BS'd and decided to do the right thing. Give them credit for that.

You sound like you're ready for a complete boycott of all MSM! The NYT does a lot of valuable work and most of what I've seen very objective (and objectivity spells disaster for the Bush admin.) Let's not bite the hand that so often feeds us well.

5. hmmm, this is what the freepers are telling their ilk to do ...why should

6. I don't subscribe

I read it online anyway. But I'll bet they're not the only paper doing what they are told by *

7. Wrong and Overblown Reaction, In My View.

Frankly, your recommendation is the same one that the right-wing loonies are recommending. I believe the Times was being responsible in what they did, and have now decided that they were misled and are going with what they know.

9. How could they have been misled

Spying on people inside the U.S. without a court order or search warrant is a clear violation of the Constitution. The President takes an oath of office to defend and uphold the Constitution. The Times knew of this violation yet chose to keep it from the American people. In my view this makes them complicit in the crime. It is no different than anyone witnessing a crime and failing to come forward to tell about it. Worse yet, the Times admitted that it did so at the request of the Administration. So the story goes like this. Bushco tells the Times we have been commiting high crimes against the Constitution and the American people, but please don't tell anyone because it might be damaging to the Administration (er, I mean national security).

8. I haven't bought it in years

since the blind eye was turned to the 2000 vote stealing. I like reading the supposedly pay only columnists at free sources, a good fuck you to the Times management.
