:wow:

[doublethink]

1. the Euphemism Gawd is busy today. n/t.

[KingFlorez]

2. Must of gotten a call from Karl

Too late anyway, people already know what's going on over there

[Initech]

3. The GOP spin machine must be on long cycle today!

[greekspeak]

4. Hey here is a funny joke...

America has a free, responsible press. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. My God I piss myself every time I hear that. Free press. I suppose we have freedom of speech too. Pift!

11. As was pointed out yesterday: what reliable media would that be?

Big thanks to Havocmom for dragging us kicking and screaming to our senses.

Take your pick: newsmax, drudge, capitol hill blues, msnbc, nyt. It's all bullshit in varying degrees and flavors. Perhaps one can search bylines in order to evaluate veracity, but from the official MSM to the unofficial crap journalism web sites, bullshit and disinformation and infotainment reign supreme.

Does the NYT need a new moto: "All the news that shit says we can print."

5. If they spent as much time managing the country as they

do managing the news maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. Than again maybe it would be worse.

[ThoughtCriminal]

6. It's not just a changed headline

It's a mis-quote of what the U.S. envoy said. He said "Civil War"

[RandiFan1290]

7. Minitrue knows best. n/t

[acmavm]

8. Don't tell me anyone is really surprised by this, please don't

tell me. My disgust with the human race couldn't be much greater than it is now. I certainly expect more from people here, anyway most of you.

[joefree1]

9. war=peace, civil war=endangered future

Red alert=time to go shopping. More bush-speak in the parallel universe of repukes.

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. They don't even pretend anymore

n/t

[Critters2]

12. The talking heads should enjoy this

I was gonna rent a movie tonight, but between the (not really)Civil War, and the stories about stories about the (not really)Civil War, I think it'll be more entertaining to watch the talkers.



:popcorn:

[radfringe]

13. and the bad streak keeps going for the bushies

cheney shoots a buddy - bush didn't know

ports being sold to UAE - bush didn't know

Civil War in Iraq - does bush know about this?

what's the giant huge breaking news going to be for next week and will bush know about it?

[killbotfactory]

14. Their reputation as a reputable news source is undeserved.

[land of the free]

15. does their management have ANY integrity?

This change, and the rewrite brotherjohn noted on the Katrina story.

This is despicable. Are they basically the WH press office, north division?

Why in the hell are their editors allowing them to publish articles, then completely rewriting them online with all criticism of the Bush administration scrubbed?

I am so appalled.

[file83]

16. Brotherjohn (DU) just caught the NYT doing the SAME THING AGAIN...
