This will NO LONGER be tolerated. Put that newspaper out of business now. It is time to take a baseball bat to the knees of these crack smoking "journalists"
Jeffrey Star was a Saint.

Put them out of business. Kill the liberals. Leave the country if you don't like it.
Vote Republican, The Intollerant Party. Because nobody else should really have an opinion, you know?

Jeffrey,
The NYT has every right to an opinion. But let them be honest about it. The readers have every right to expect them to divulge it rather than pretend to be "objective." Then the market can decide whether they should stay in business. As far as intolerant, do you really think the dems are any more tolerant? Ask Michael Steele about that.

"Kill [...] the [...] Republican[s].

There you go, Jeff. I hope you enjoy my NYT-stlye quoting. Hey, FBI, this guy's making death threats!

In reaction to the article "Update: Lying Times", Mr. Jeffrey Boser was moved to exclaim:
"Vote Republican"
...that we will, Jeffrey, that we will.

The Times has been lying a long time. Look up Walter Duranty's name on Google and see what he and the Times pulled in the 1930's. Their pals the Stalinists killed 10 million people in the Ukraine and the Times covered it up. The Ukrainian government has tried repeatedly to get the Times to give up the Pulitzer Prize that they won for this 'reporting' but they won't do it. Walter Duranty was the Moscow Bureau chief for the NYT's at the time and probably a KGB agent.

Yup, leave it to the wingnuts to want to kill people who disagree with them. Why am I not surprised? You're brothers under the skin with the Stalinists.

When in doubt.. Write to the Public editor: public@nytimes.com. Here's my contribution to their inbox.
Subject: Deeply Offended
To the Public Editor of the NYTimes, Byron Calame:
I am deeply offended after I read the Times article by James Dao on Cpl. J. Starr and saw the very obvious attempt to twist the words of a honorable man to fit the "story" of the hour. It stings that I cannot read my favorite newspaper when I travel and be able to fully trust the words that are contained within and to know that behind the mis-quoted transcripts of the Time there lies a truly deeper and more honorable story that I have to find out -not from the Times, but from an online website.
I fully expect to see a public response from your ombudsman regarding this mistreatment of the last and most sacred words of an American Hero at his death.
I implore you to put into practice your values and to remind you of the NYTimes Company's mission statement:
- The Core Purpose of the New York Times Company is to enhance society by creating, collecting and distributing high-quality news, information and entertainment.
- Our core values, those that are essential to the way we do business, are: content of the highest quality and integrity - this is the basis for our reputation and the means by which we fulfill the public trust and our customers expectations [...]

Thus spake some semiliterate moonbat: "You're brothers under the skin with the Stalinists."
Uh huh, because it was the Right that loved Stalin so much. Idiot.

All the partisan swill aside, why is a misrepresentation like this viewed by anyone as anything other than dishonesty?

And Malkin calls the left "unhinged"?

Apparently my use of figurative language -- "brothers under the skin" -- was too abstract for you to understand. I sympathize. Your Mom homeschooled you and she distrusted abstractions because no abstractions ever made their way into her cookies, by golly.
So let me be concrete. In spite of surface differences in ideologies, the rightwingnuts are akin to Stalinists because they both believe in the use of violence against their opponents.

Why not put that newspaper out of business ?? I agree wholeheartedly with that objective. Until the press feels that it's readership will not tolerate being decieved the have no incentive to change their ways.What sort of an idiot would pay to read misinformation. Not only that, but what sort of an idiot can't see that the problem with what this newspaper did has nothing to do with differing opinions. What this newspaper did was to deliberately distort the facts. WHY would anyone think that this should be acceptable ? It is an abuse of the trust that the readership places in the paper and it is the abuse of the core intent of one of our most precious freedoms, freedom of speech. I agree that this example is especially vile because it betrays a young man who GAVE HIS LIFE because he believes in the freedoms that have made this "rag" rich. Put them out of business ? For me that would be a fitting tribute to Cpl. Jeffrey Starr- and an indication to me that America does , indeed , work.

It's every leftist's inalienable right to stuff words into the mouths of dead soldiers in order to advance their agenda.
How dare you demand truth and honesty?!!! Your criticism is crushing their right to dissent, you Rethuglican!

Well of course the NYT was opposed to Lincoln declaring war on the confederate states of america. so they have always been fucked up
Posted by Dan at November 8, 2005 02:18 AM
Dan, we interrupt your screed with some facts. The NYT was pro-Union and moderate Republican in those days. Lincoln never declared war on the so-called CSA, but rather declared them to be in a state of insurrection.
The states calling themselves the "CSA" regarded it as a declaration of war, but as with many things they were wrong about that one as well.
