    People seem to have either forgot or just not know the NYT has always had a neocon, jingoist, America BEST superiority complex when it comes to anything approaching ‘foreign policy’.

    Does… everyone remember when they spent a whole lot of time amplifying the Bush admin’s bogus claims and outright lies justifying the GWOT, Iraq invasion 2 electric boogaloo?

    Hyped up the ‘threat’ from Iran, to functionally make Obama and the Dems seem weak on foreign policy?

    And that’s just in my lifetime…

    Any whoosie, I’m sure that’s all just a coincidence and is in no way related to the CIA’s vast, documented history of involvement in and manipulation of US domestic media publications.

      Judith Miller sucks.

      From Wikipedia:

      Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948)[1] is an American journalist and commentator who is known for writing about Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program both before and after the 2003 invasion, but her writings were later discovered to have been based on fabricated intelligence.
