Everybody, please e-mail NYT about the ridiculous and completely unprofessional column by William Safire that they published today:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/13/opinion/13safire.htmlAs someone else has pointed out already, Media Matters has done an analysis of just how badly Safire warped his facts:
http://mediamatters.org/items/200409130006Safire's column belongs in the Washington Times, not in the NYT, which is supposed to be a respectable newspaper.
