Well, Frankie, hate to burst your bubble, but if the president’s name was Mickey Mouse, I would still support this program…

if you can read that and find any good reason for the Times to blow the lid, you’re amazingly adept at reading between the lines.

It’s not the surveillance program that the NYT had a gripe with. It’s the fact that NO outside checks and balances were in place before the SWIFT executives themselves forced the Administration to have an outside firm to do just that. Bottom line, this admin think they have all the rights to do whatever is “justified” against the enemy. For now, the “enemy” is Al-Qaeda…for now. Who will it be next? Can you guess?

Finally, ask yourself this question: if the president first name was Hillary, would you be so supportive of this SWIFT program? Any objection you would have? Hmmmmm?

The obvious thing here is that you are amazingly inept at reading the lines.

Miriam, agree with you on those points – but our government at that time wasn’t exactly forthcoming on what was happening over there either, and they had a real good idea of what was going on, and at an early stage.

Sadly, this is not the first episode of rotten, deceitful activity at the Times. Need I mention Walter duranty? Or the fact that the Times saw fit to mention the holocaust only six times during WWII? That’s one mention for every million Jews murdered.

The media used to provide story and context. Now it is just story and the net is getting to supply the context, and all the context.

In the presses inability to address context, they are driving their former readers away in droves.

Mark, they may not have any Democratic readers in the near future, at least if their financial performance is any indication:

Good analyis here that the NYT has ceased to be a news organization of any regard, and is just playing to what they think is their target market. But their target market is abandoning them at a record pace, and their financial condition is worsening dramatically, even worse than the other major newspapers. Look for a takeover soon, and a return to the days of Punch.
