1. Safire.
I consider him majorly responsible for Vincent Foster's suicide, due to his constant rumor-spreading.

His current "I just LOVE Goerge Bush!" pandering is simply sickening.

2. Friedman is way worse than Safire in my opinion
I've always known how Safire is. Friedman though is just a sellout, neo con appeasing, media whore. He sold off his integrity so he could make a buck off the BCF and Faux News:grr: There's nothing I hate more than a fucking trader:mad:

3. Brooks.
Something about that twerp....I knew kids like that in grade school. Usually nosepickers. And they'd be the one to rat out fellow students to ingratiate themselves with the teacher(s) and the principal.

4. Don't forget Chalabi's information minister Judy Miller
She is the worst in my view, front page lie after lie, selling this bogus war.. in the end, because of a leaked email, it was revealed that her main source for all of the lies was Mr. Chalabi. Jayson Blair is fired, but Judy Miller still draws a paycheck. I guess the rule is be sure to lie BIG! :mad:

10. I'm with you on this one
Has anyone heard or seen anything from her recently? Since just about everything she reported on has been debunked or was just jingoism, has she really got a career left or does she have a really good contract with the NYT?

6. I like all the NYT columnists
I think they're all great writers and I enjoy reading all of them. Even Brooks and Safire.

7. I like Krugman and Herbert but the rest
are too enthralled with the status quo. They cannot see beyond the Beltway and NYC.

Not everyone lives the high and mighty lifestyles of very well paid journalists, Krugman and Herbert realize this and write about it.

They are voices for the voiceless and ignored.

8. Maureen Dowd is great....so is Nikolas Kristoff and their editorials
are usually 100% anti-Bush and anti-GOP.

Plus their letters usually run 3/4 against Bush.

9. Yeah, but Dowd was 100% anti-Clinton
I read her because she loathes Dumbo, but once a Dem gets back in the White House, I will certainly stop. She seems to hate everything.

Kristof is about 50-50.

11. so...I was anti-Clinton too
I think liberals who bashed Clinton for the things he did can be forgiven. Certainly Clinton deserved all the shit he brought upon himself and his party.

12. Agreed, Magic Rat
Clinton deserved some of the criticism he received, especially for his pandering the big business interests and fighting for NAFTA and GATT.

He did more to drive the Democrats to the right than anyone, other than Joe Lieberman.

Just because there is a D after someone's name does not mean they are beyond criticism.

13. Phooey on you. But proof of Dowd not liking anything/anyone was that
she had to write a nasty column about the great Kate after her death.

And the other day (or maybe it was today) about not liking any of the designs for the Twin Towers Memorial. There's no pleasing her.

14. I hate the "St. Clinton" people as well
The man fucked us over on Bush's oil war, WTO, NAFTA, GATT, War on drugs and abortion rights.

15. The head pressman!
Even in New York City the number of people who can run a newspaper press is not high; if the head pressman would drop the keys to the press in his pocket and say, "look, we're not printing this bullshit anymore, bring me some plates that aren't full of lies," the shit would change real quick.

The next day's Daily News: "City Without Times For First Time Since 1865 Because Pressman Refuses to Print "Bullshit."

The next day's Washington Times: "'America's Paper of Record' Stops Publication Because Liberal In Pressroom Hates the Truth."
