Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Everyone seems to really have their knickers in a twist about the NY Times/Jayson Blair scandal, and there is some obvious schadenfreude from a number of sources. My opinion of the NY Times has lessened since the scandal, but not really because of it.

The way I see it, the NY Times got screwed by a con-man- it could happen to anyone. However, is that any more damning than the institutional bias that will continue on irrespective of this scandal? Think about it- what is worse? Having one rogue reporter who made up stories, or having an entire staff that knows the truth but refuses or is not allowed to print it? I’ll take the rogue reporter, thank you.

    As far as I know, they not only got scammed, they were alerted to it, yet refused to do anything about it.

    That’s the difference.

    But, like you, my opinion of the Raines’ Times didn’t really drop all that much. Couldn’t drop much further anyway.
