Who’s worse, Leon Panetta or the New York Times?
Okay, not the whole New York Times. I mean, their food criticism is pretty bitchin’, and their coverage of the fashion scene is consistently awesome, but when it comes to world events, they’re not so hot. A case in point is a recent “article” attributed to Thom Shanker and David E. Sanger bearing the head…
Leon Panetta, laughing at life, and death (but the New York Times doesn’t think it’s funny)
Obviously, I should keep better records. Yesterday, the New York Times ran an article by Alissa J. Rubin on Defense Secretary’s current trip to Afghanistan, commenting, among other things, on the difficulties the U.S. encounters in both that country and neighboring Pakistan, due in large part to our persistent habit of murdering large numbers of…
Cognitive disconnect: Who’s stupider, the Obama Administration or the New York Times?
The homepage of the May 31, 2012 New York Times is currently (12:06 PM EDT) running the following: Seeing gains, U.S. Widens Latin Drug WarAs Washington’s attention swings from Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States is expanding its antidrug efforts in places like Honduras, where the violence has skyrocketed. What’s the “good” news? The Times…
The New York Times has issues, even if you don’t
Over at Salon, Glenn Greenwald keeps his hair close-cropped, the better to avoid pulling it out in rage and frustration over the manifold lies and crimes of the U.S. government and its frequent mouthpiece, the New York Times. On April 4, the Times ran a breathless piece headlined “U.S. Sees Iran in Bids to Stir…
The New York Times, Ethan Bronner, and Israel: Getting very, very desperate
“A senior Israeli official said on Thursday that the missile testing site near Tehran that was destroyed in a huge explosion three months ago was developing missiles with a range of some 6,000 miles aimed at the United States,” according to Ethan Bronner, reporting in yesterday’s New York Times. According to Bronner, the official further…
The New York Times: We can toos regurgitate Pentagon talking points without Judy Miller on board!
Yes, they can! Did you know that the Pentagon has an “unmatched record in developing technologies with broad public benefits — like the Internet, jet engines and satellite navigation — and then encouraging private companies to reap the rewards.” Well, I didn’t either, but Timesman Binyamin Appelbaum pronounces it so, albeit without a shred of…
The New York Times: calls ‘em as they see ‘em, as long as the only see ‘em in Japan
As I’ve noted before, the New York Times isn’t afraid to tell the harsh truth about official government lies, as long as those lies aren’t coming from the mouth of the U.S. government. Back in March, the Times ran a story, not an editorial, on its front page regarding the Japanese government’s response to the…
There will always be a New York Times. But why?
Actually, I’m a big fan of the Times, and I even subscribe, but there are times when the Times descends, or perhaps plummets, to self-parody. One of those times occurred in a recent article on South Korean pop, a subject perhaps too rarely visited by Timesmen and Timesbabes. In any event, Timesman Jon Caramanica, referring…
Editorial standards at the New York Times: What has four legs and goes “Woof, Woof, Woof”?
Over at the New Yorker, Ken Auletta devotes what appears by my count to be about twenty column feet to the long, happy career of NYT Executive Editor Jill Abramson. Somewhere around the twelve-foot mark Ken mentions that while Abramson was managing editor of the Times, she “began writing a popular online column for the…
