Reply #46: That makes NO sense to me

Why are you sticking up for the NYT? They facilitated all the lies that took us to war. They barely apologized, and are STILL enabling the Bush regime, big time.

But all this bashing of a newspaper that I don't think half of the bashers read is counter-productive and will not bring back good old investative reporting which seems to have gone the way of the do-do bird.

Nor will YOUR suggestions (write LTEs, thank them for Hedges' article, join the on-line discussions) bring back investigative journalism either.

I simply do not understand why you think the NYT shouldn't be soundly and often for its ever-expanding servile laxity and dereliction of duty, a duty which happens to be Constitutional and whick happens to be absolutely essential to the survival of democracy itself: keeping the people well and accurately informed.

Makes no sense to me.

Unless, of course, you work for the NYT???? Maybe then that kind of emotionally-based (codependent) protectiveness would make some emotional sense. But I can't think of any other reason.
