The New York Times vs. The New York Times
By Debbie Schlussel
So, the Republicans were accused by the New York Times (and other mainstream media outlets) of lying about WMD, Saddam Hussein’s record, and assorted other things about Iraq.
Under the pressure, the GOP members of Congress insisted on posting documents captured in Iraq. And now the NYTimes is blaming the GOP for posting the docs, saying it helps Iran in their nuclear weapons quest? Is this the GOP’s fault . . . or the NYTimes and the rest of the liberal media’s fault? Just asking.
Then, there’s the other issue:
The New York Times doesn’t have a problem endangering our national security and helping terrorists by posting front page info on the SWIFT bank transfer surveillance program, NSA surveillance and wiretaps, etc.
Yet, when the GOP Congress posts documents capture in Iraq, THEY are blamed by the NYTimes for endangering our national security and helping terrorists, by accidentally disclosing nuclear info to Iran?
We suppose if you are the “newspaper of record” and deliberately hurt America, it’s okay. But if you’re the Republican-dominated Congress and do it by accident, then it’s a prob.
Nice twisted logic.
Does their “do as I say, not as I do” reporting really surprise you? It would be surprising if they DIDN’T waffle on their opinions.
