Dowd Nails It
Once again, the New York Times' Maureen Dowd has hit the nail on the head.
"Consider this: when Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, supported by President Ford, pushed a plan to have the government help develop alternative sources of energy and reduce our dependence on oil and Saudi Arabia, guess who helped scotch it? Dick Cheney. Then and now, the man is a menace."
Too true. And too bad most people won't read her byline, or other important Times writers like Paul Krugman, thanks to the fact that their most important op-ed writers have been stuffed into the subscription box.
Way to gut your influence, Times.
"All the news that's fit to print?" For a SOLID YEAR the New York Times sat on a story so explosive it could have stopped that moron George Bush from being elected in 2004, and saved this country a lot of grief. After all that, one can't help but ask the question, what other vitally important stories are they keeping under wraps that the American people need to hear, while simultaneously letting joke reporters like Judith Miller have a platform to spew utter lies?
What a thousand right wing smear tactics couldn't do, they managed to do to themselves. Unless they make some radical changes, they may have damaged their credibility beyond repair. Very sad.
