NY Times caves in to right-wingers.
Does anybody have any courage anymore? The NY Times is saying it will bow to right-wing whiners who think the paper doesn't give them enough good press. Which in this day and age, means they're not licking Bush's boot heels.
You'd think "the paper of record" would be proud it's not a lapdog organization like Rupert Murdoch's FoxNews and NY Post. But alas, the Times is tossing out its integrity so it can be better liked. (Note to NYT: this ploy never works.)

Maybe they finally wised up and realized that the Jason Blair method of operation doesn't work anymore.
A shake up is coming to the newspaper industry as they realize falling readership due to competition from instant news sources such as the internet. The power of the press is coming to the people.
The Jason Blair method is still alive and well at FoxNews! Facts not in your favor? Just make'em up! ("Some folks say...")
There's defitely a democratization of information exploding right now. But it's because the mainstream media has pushed so far to the right. Nobody trusts such obvious complacency and capitulation to the powers that be.
So it makes little sense that NYT can become more relevant by going even farther in the wrong direction.
Here is a prime example of the NYT making the facts fit the story.

If I were a regular Times reader, I'd demand that be explained.
