Reply #31: NY Times and WaPo have vested interest in perpetuating

[chaumont58]

lie about Whitewater. Howell Raines had to resign over Jason Blair, but Jeff Gerth still works for NYT. Len Downie, to this day, still believes some guilt on the part of one or both Clinton with regard to Whitewater. I used to send email regarding his pursuit of Bill Clinton and his lack of progress. I only got one reply. He was sure that when the final report by the OIC came out, there would be indictments over Whitewater. Needless to say, his disappointment continued. Inside the beltway is a strange place. Up is down, black is white, the truth doesn't matter, only appearance. A smirking chimp is SELECTED to be President, and he is hailed to be a combination of Lincoln, FDR, Ghandi, and now, even ole Raygun.
The NY Times and the WaPo are not liberal. There aren't many liberals left. Maybe part of the Nation, certainly nothing on the staff of The New Republic. On cable TV news shows, who would truly be considered liberal? Certainly not that cess pool, the Capitol Gang.
When you look at the control the Republicans have, their incompetance becomes truly amazing. They control the executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the press corps is made of outright wingnuts, or fellow travelors. In spite of all this control, John Kerry is even leading is some national polls. Kerry is not what anyone is going to call charismatic.
