New e mail from media research center...pointing out the NY Times many screwups and lies during the last year. Here's one that I found particularly interesting.
1) Maureen Dowd's Dishonest Deletion
Columnist Maureen Dowd purposely mangled a quote from President
Bush to make him look naive about the dangers posed by Al Qaeda.
In her May 14 "Osama's Offspring," Dowd writes: "Busy chasing off
Saddam, the president and vice president had told us that Al
Qaeda was spent. 'Al Qaeda is on the run,' President Bush said
last week. 'That group of terrorists who attacked our country is
slowly but surely being decimated...They're not a problem
anymore.'"
Dowd used ellipses...to hide the truth. Here's what Bush actually
said in Arkansas May 5: "Al Qaeda is on the run. That group of
terrorists who attacked our country is slowly, but surely being
decimated. Right now, about half of all the top Al Qaeda
operatives are either jailed or dead. In either case, they're not
a problem anymore. And we'll stay on the hunt. To make sure
America is a secure country, the Al Qaeda terrorists have got to
understand it doesn't matter how long it's going to take, they
will be brought to justice."
Notice the third sentence of Bush's speech: It's clear Bush was
only talking about the top Al Qaeda operatives that "are either
jailed or dead" as being "not a problem anymore" -- not the group
itself. Dowd dishonestly deleted that sentence and the first
three words of the next in order to make Bush "say" Al Qaeda was
no longer a threat.
This Maureen Dowd is clearly a nut who has constant trouble with honesty- there is an abundance of evidence on that:

I love the NY Times. It's nice seeing dishonest journalists get caught like this. It's also nice to read their liberal rants and laugh at them.
