"Newspaper of Record" Attempts to Erase Air America Scandal

Posted by Dave Blount at August 6, 2005 5:09 PM

Today I put a clothespin on my nose and flipped through the New York Times, sure that they would finally be forced to acknowledge the Air America corruption scandal, now that even the left-leaning State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer feels compelled to investigate the liberal radio network for basically stealing nearly $1 million from needy children in the Bronx in order to finance their obnoxious limousine leftist posturing.

I was wrong.

Visit the NY Times online. Enter Air America in the search box. The most recent entry, as of this afternoon, was a piece from June 15, promoting the repellent Al Franken — most famous of the boorish extremists put on the air by Err America — as candidate for the U.S. Senate.

As for a corruption scandal significant enough to engage New York's Attorney General, the newspaper of record prints not one word.

Imagine if Rush Limbaugh were the sort of lowlife who would steal from poor children, and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Think the NY Times would manage to find space for it? Think they would manage to find space for anything else on the front page for the next six weeks?

"The Newspaper of Record" has become a melancholy joke. The NY Times has clearly relinquished that title, along with any claim to respect as a forum for professional journalism. The paper is a soap box for liberal elite propagandists who look out for their own, without any regard to journalistic ethics, the people's need to know, or even objective reality. The faster people become aware of this increasingly obvious fact, the faster this sad remnant of a newspaper will go swirling down the drain.
