Dear New York Times: Fuck you

Can the NY Times run a disclaimer informing their readers that they're sucking the right wing's collective cock? Fucking honestly, why are they running a story about right wing bloggers accusing the Associated Press of being in bed with the terrorists? Why is this considered news? And if they have to run a story on it, can they at least get their facts straight?

For example, here's the caption they gave to this photo:

11photo.jpg

Some conservative bloggers contend The Associated Press was complicit in taking this photograph of the slaying of an Iraqi election worker. The A.P. strongly denies that.

What's wrong here? Well, let me make a couple corrections. First: "Some conservative bloggers contend" WITHOUT ANY PROOF WHATSOEVER. Second: "The A.P. strongly denies that" BY PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, WHICH THE RIGHT WING BLOGGERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DEBUNK.

Oh, I'm sorry, if they made those corrections then the Times wouldn't have had a story.

Yet the rabid dickheads at Power Line and elsewhere will still claim that this is an example of the "liberal media." I guess for the right wants to NY Times to swallow before granting them their approval.

...Salon has more.
