Whores Speak

This just kills me. It's the lede in an editorial in the NY Times.

If facts mattered in American politics, the Bush-Cheney ticket would not be basing its re-election campaign on the fear-mongering contention that the surest defense against future terrorist attacks lies in the badly discredited doctrine of preventive war.
"If facts mattered..."? That the Times would even utter those three words, when they have for almost 15 years been in the scurrilous rumour business is to say the least incredible.

Hey, NYT editorial board: How about a glass of Whitewater with those billing records, or are you all too busy getting a blow-job from an RNC hooker?

Wouldn't it be better if the Times changed their masthead from "All the News that's Fit to Print" to "Facts are Malleable Things, Sometime Convenient to Print"?

Damn, Jo Fish - you've said what I would have said, only better.

If facts mattered IN THE NEW YORK TIMES the country might well look a bit different today. These are the same good folks who gave us so much "fact-esque" BS, some uncorrected to this day, and all in support of the doctrine that IOKIYAR.

Every time I think these journalists have sunk to their lowest, they shock me by sinking lower. This latest is hard to believe, but there it is.

Media, the most unpatriotic bunch of fuckwits, that ever existed.

Their most accurate factual content is the editorial page.

It's funny that the pReisdent stopped by on his way from the "doctors sharing their love with women" statement he made on OB/GYN the same day so bad economic information came out.

Anyways on the editorial pages here someone noted that when Bush did his fly-by and stopped to brag bacon with other repiglicans few people showed up.

Few showed up in comparison to the jobs fair the steel mill held here. Over 3,000 applicants.

The guy's final statement summed it up-"it proves that more Americans would rather get a job than meet the pResident..."
