Everything Swank

The New York Times decided to further denigrate its status as what was once THE source of news into a pitiful, cheap, rag with all of the class of third tier soap opera digest.

The New York Times posted an article about Presidential hopeful John McCain ’s relationship with a female lobbyist. The article did a whole lot of hinting and winking, but in the end proved not one single thing. There was no evidence, not smoking gun, no stains on dresses, and not one single thing that can constitute proof. Why? Because all of the sources for the New York Times wouldn’t go on record, and they had nothing. Normal journalistic standards would not permit the story from being done in the first place, but this is the Times. They print shit.

This isn’t the least bit shocking. This is the paper that had Jayson Blair on the payroll. I guess when you hired writers that completely fabricate stories, running stories that offer not proof and trade on rumor is to be expected.

What’s shocking is that the New York Times has dropped any pretense with being a responsible news organization. It’s not even a matter of bias. Bias is to be expected of any publication. This is just malicious sloppy writing.

The best part?  The New York Times is completely clueless.  They just don’t get it.  They used to be able to pretend to be fair.  This article basically has shown their true colors.  They aren’t even pretending anymore.
