Reply #15: They didn't come...the Times leaped into their arms.

And so did the rest of the press. What makes you think the current crop of people writing for newspapers or TV news did so out of a love for "truth" or "journalistic values?"

They joined up because they wanted fame and money. They get famous by having "access" to the Republicans. They get money by spotlighting what the Republicans want spotlighted.f

And the New York Whore Times has been in the forefront of the whole movement. Even worse, they aren't even propagating their stuff for free on the Web any more; they are now charging to read their rag on your computer screen. So you, yourself, are paying to read Bush and Rove's propaganda. Bet that makes you feel all warm and cozy about "freedom of the press," doesn't it?
