NYT writing bogus stories?

Perish the thought. America's "Newspaper of Record" stuffing its pages with ignorant fluff? Can it be?

Fact is, America's "Newspaper of Record" has not done this kind of article in a newsworthy way for decades. Since they left pure journalism and entered the arena of agenda-driven news and commentary in the 70's, their record of journalistic sloppiness and mental laziness continues to grow. I find it amazing that anyone takes them seriously anymore, except for those [people/news organizations] who share the same left-wing agenda. Besides, it's not their guy in the White House. We can't possibly portray any economic news in a positive light.

When Bill Clinton, by basically leaving his hands off of things, was able to oversee a positive result in the area of controlling the deficit, all we heard about was how we were going to be debt-free within a decade or so- thanks to him. When the Clinton recession and 9/11 reversed that trend in 2000/2001, all we heard was how our current administration had mis-managed the deficit, Now that there is the same trend in the deficit, in spite of the heavy spending involved in fighting a global war, how many stories have you heard about it? Almost none, especially from the NYT.

Thsi is just parfor the course for the NYT nowadays
