We do live in a country with a free press and we also live in a country with free speech so I can write anything I want that's in disagreement with the NYT, as long as it's not slanderous. My opinion is my opinion. You're damn right I'm accusing the Times of having an agenda. FInd me ONE example of a leak during the Clinton Administration that revealed our strategies while in conflict with Haiti, Mogadishu, and/or Bosnia. It didn't happen because the NYT would never do anything to harm Bill's foreign policy, especially while we were at war. If you can't see what's happening now, you're blind or a partisan with an agenda. ribsr:

Do you want to complain about the reporting of the Washington Times? We live in a country with a free press and we have paid for that right many times over and will continue to do so. We also have the right to decide, from the sources of information that is available to us, which ones we will allow to influence us. The same is trur for televison and the cyberspace. You are accusing the New York Times of having an agenda. I believe you are correct in that accusation. I also believe you have an agenda of your own. Shooting the messenger is a poor way to deal with bad news. Suggesting the direction and flavor of the reporting of any newspaper is just as wrong as a newspaper that reports with an agenda.

It is why I read the blogs for news, because I cannot any longer stomach the Main Stream Media. The NYT article is just one of thousands that are ruining this war effort and the morale of citizens. It is truly sad that the MSM would rather push an agenda or destroy an administration rather than get behind the country during a time of war and do what it takes to win. We could have won this war faster (I think) if the press would get behind our troops and our country by telling the good news over there and not printing the bad news all the time. It is discouraging and I have quit reading all newspapers and i refuse to read TIME mag and NewsDay and others because they are not worthy of my time. I am glad you touched on this subject today.
