Times.

The New York Times (subject of numerous past entries) continues to be something of a quandary, or contradiction – if you prefer.

Looking back over the past six or so years, The Times has published and exposed some of the most important stories regarding the absolute disregard by the Bush administration for the rules and laws held sacred by this nation for nearly 250 years. At the same time they joined the rest of the corporate media in ever so loudly banging the war drums to invade Iraq (on a separate note: apparently outgoing British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, knew ahead of the invasion that the United States had devised absolutely NO plans for after the execution of the now infamous ‘Shock & Awe’ campaign) and generally turn a blind eye on numerous other egregious constitutional offenses.

In any event, what I am now choosing to harp on (something I have harped on in the past, so forgive me for being a broken record) is The Times burying the lead story, as Air America’s Rachel Maddow calls it. Now I honestly feel badly for both houses of congress (the Democrats in particular), for they have more Bush admin-related scandals to investigate than bribes taken by Duke Cunningham! Nevertheless, we have an Associated Press article that states “E-mail records are missing for 51 of the 88 White House officials who had electronic message accounts with the Republican National Committee [RNC]…”

In classical Bush admin form, when previously asked how many White House officials had RNC e-mail accounts, the White House claimed there were only 50. Apparently they confused the question with how many records were being nefariously hidden.

I'm positive you have not heard the last from me, New York Times!
