my feedback to the NYTimes (re Sibel Edmonds)
Huh--not ONE mention of Sibel Edmond's deposition yesterday, in which a specific congressman was named as engaging in espionage for Turkey, among other things. Your newspaper is a joke--this was very important news but you weren't even there. And you wonder why people don't read your toilet paper anymore, let alone pay for it. I guess NYC SUV clubs, featured on page 1 of the Web version at least, are more important than treason by members of Congress. Keep up the very important in-depth reporting, clowns. You become more irrelevant with each passing day. You will not be missed.

----------

I hope DUers will write similar messages to "news" outlets.

1. The media
... especially newspapers, howl that they are going to start charging for internet news, that their profits are being squeezed by Craigslist, that "journalism" costs money.

They fail to acknowledge what most of us figured out years ago, "journalism" in print and in TV news reporting is DEAD. It has been DEAD since at least the late 90's and why would any of us want to pay for the half-assed, blatantly biased, loaded with trivia CRAP that passes for "news" these days.

Screw them all - I hope they all go out of business.
