The Missing NY Times Front Pages

Where’s All the News That’s Fit to Print?
TvNewsLIES.org - May - 2005

To the Editors of the NY Times:

On the front page of every issue of your publication you proclaim that we will find “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” Unfortunately you have not lived up to that proclamation for quite some time.

I have a serious question for you people at the NY Times. Where the hell have these headlines been? (See below). Why have we had to cherry pick our news? Why to we have to read buried stories or international publications in order to know what is going on in our own country?

Here are some of the news HEADLINES that have been fit to print, only to be printed by the independent journalist, the blogger and various international publications. While on occasion these blockbuster stories end up buried somewhere in your 5 pound Sunday edition, they should be splattered all over the headlines until the issues that face our nation get addressed.

1. Surely you jest....
Real news gets in the way of the expanding theory that all is well in the land of make believe. Real news would require real investigation. Real background. Real digging. Why bother America with unpleasant facts when they can spend their time with fanciful little stories about our great economy or the world`s hunger for Bush`s freedom train?

4. Let me add one more thing
Americans are a bit preoccupied with "Fear Factor" and "Britney's pregnancy."

3. Thanks for pointing this out to us! Now, if only the
NY Times and others would read it and start acting like valid news organizations.
