And sack Mo Dowd.

How could I forget that.

Gotta sack Mo.

Replace her with Paglia. Greater credibility, insight, and a waaay more compelling read.

Exit question via Riehl: Is it time to start a dead pool for the New York Times?

I think Murdoch should buy it and then staff it with the same stock he uses for FNC.

Brit Hume, Executive Editor, New Yorks Times…I like the sound of that.

Use Brietbart for the wire service and bring over his sports writers from The Post…smells like a winner to me.

Might just make The Gray Whore a Lady again…

Politico has a new story out tonight about Caroline’s work for the NYC school system. Turns out she was almost never on the job, but she did keep in touch by phone, so let’s look forward to that in the Senate.

Well, if Her Highness never shows up to vote and Barack’s Seat by some whimsical twist of fate gets turned Red in a special election, and Franken manages not to steal the election in Minnesota, thats 56-43. Not ironclad, but I imagine ol’ Skullface can’t get his 60 votes easily.

johnnyU,

If you haven’t noticed markets swing wildly from hour to hour. Yahoo writes a headline at 10, market is down 2%, by 10:30 it’s up 2%. In all fairness to Yahoo, they can’t keep up with that kind of pace and switch headlines every 10 minutes to keep up.

As for housing it is news because it is bad news. That’s because every so called expert keeps saying the worst is over. And week in week out, month in month out they are proven wrong yet again.

You wanna see spoofs? Read Yahoo’s headlines that they post to sway the markets. As I type this they are reporting Aiasn markets down becuase of a disappopinting cut in rates, but yet the market is up significantly if one checks.
They are already posting as of 5 a.m. lower expectations from our market due to housing data. Well crappy housing data is nothing new so why are they try to sway mood with the headlines? I’m sorry to see the greedy disinformants didnt suffer enough in this thing. Its 3/4 political anyway and whats with gas prices halving themselves in a month huh? so much manipulation. If this were the old days, these bastards would be shot and that would be the justice they get.

They were so eager to post it without waiting for verification because he used the phrase “America in Decline”. Some things are just too exciting to wait on.

But we flat out need newspapers. Online, print, whatever.

We certainly do; but we have a few too many rags that don’t do much more than spew out DNC talking points.

LOL Hahahahhhaaaa!

Give it another month or two and they’ll be asking for a bailout as well.

Turns out not everyone on the Internet is who he claims to be. Who knew?

This is what fascinated me when I posted about this on my own blog. How can you be called a journalist when your first (and only, as far as the NYT has mentioned) method of verifying a letter you’ve been handed, is to ask the person who handed you the letter “uh, is this real?”

What a joke.

Caroline's cousin runs a charity in my building. He sometimes wears gold lame running shoes with white pants and a white t-shirt. I'm already thinking of calling him "Senator." Just in case.

Maybe George Soros will buy it-he already owns the Democratic party he might as well own the Democratic party’s version of the Pravda.

I keep forgetting, which one was “Truth” and which one was “News”? (Pravda & Tass)? Doesn’t matter, the NYT doesn’t publish either.

Or Paris, Tennessee. It is home to a replica Eiffel Tower and the 'World's Biggest Fish Fry'. Tennessee; France. What's the difference?

Due diligence is really expecting too much. Publish first, ask questions later.

I’m really not going to miss Maureen Dowd after the Times finally drowns in all that debt. I’m with Jim62sch, I hope she spends the rest of her career in some tiny town freezing her butt off and wading through manure to cover livestock auctions.
