Great post!! I especially liked this line: "The NY Times, printing things that aren't true?
Perish the thought!"

I have never read the NY Times and I don't plan to start now. Bird-cage liner sounds about right to me.

They sent me an offer once. I said, "No thanks. I don't want to waste the trees."

What's the New York Times?

They see and hear what they want and so they print it.

C'mon JimmyB. There are more uses than bird cage lining. You can wrap fish, kindle fires and potty train puppies with it too.

Blair, Pinch, MoDo (that would be Moron Dodosaurus, Krugman ... and now we can add this doofus ..... obviously the NYT is the repository of last resort for the criminally insane

MoDo is also an elite hockey team in Sweden.

There's a great scene in Seinfeld when a telemarketer calls and asks if he would be interested in a subscription to the NYT. Jerry says, "Yes," then hangs up the phone. Classic!

Everyone should know by now that the MSM never lets facts or shoddy research get in the way of a good story.

Why does anyone subscribe to this bird-cage liner anymore?

So many people still trust MSM and downplay the credibility of blogs. These people don't understand how blogs earn credibility and how to do their own research to verify stories; they are used to being spoonfed the news and offer blind trust to old media journalists.

Somebody's blog is turning one very soon...

I subscribed years ago and cancelled the very day the first issue arrived. Made a great fly swatter, though.

I heard they posted the corrections right between the transsexual escort advertisements and the phone sex advertisements (not the ones on page 2 though!)
