THIS is How DISHONEST and CRIMINAL Our Media Is...

Jared Loughner




















.
.
. Arthur Sulzberger Jr.




On Thursday, June 15th, 2017 the NY Times (NYT) printed an editorial that deliberately tried to revive a debunked conspiracy theory about Jared Loughner, the deranged killer who on January 8th, 2011 shot 13 people, killing 6 and severely wounding Rep. Gabby Giffords, in Tuscon, AZ., to Sarah Palin's campaign.


There were no links between the Leftist Loughner and Sarah Palin's campaign. In fact the NYT reported that Loughner would get angry just at the sight of President George W. Bush.

According to a CBS report, most of those who knew Loughner said he was a liberal. He was said to have lauded the Communist Manifesto and allegedly followed the 9/11 “truther” movement.

So, if anything, Jared Loughner was yet another deranged Leftist who..."went off."

Despite those facts, the NYT's June 15th editorial sought to resurrect the discredited conspiracy theory that Sarah Palin's message that listed Arizona's gun-control supporting legislators with target sights placed on a map depicting Arizona's Congressional districts. NOTHING at all untoward, or inciteful about those campaign flyers.

The slander was so egregious that the NYT's almost immediately issued a retraction; "An earlier version of this editorial incorrectly stated that a link existed between political incitement and the 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords. In fact, no such link was established."

THAT is too much like a prosecutor intentionally stating a barred evidence from a previous crime to deliberately prejudice the jury and then "withdrawing" what the jury already heard!

The NYT and other media outlets should be held to a HIGHER standard of truth and accuracy NOT a lower one.

Their own earlier reporting proves they knew that Jared Loughner was a deranged Leftist and yet sought to smear a fine American politician (Sarah Palin) in order to attempt to create a false equivalency between peaceful Conservatives and violent, often deranged Leftists, like those of the Occupy movements, the AntiFa fascists and the avowed racial bigots of BLM.

We desperately NEED a new American media.

The Mexico City Times???







The cash-hemorrhaging New York Times has AGAIN taken a cash infusion from Mexican Billionaire Carlos Slim Helu (pictured above), the son of Lebanese-born Catholic immigrants to Mexico and one of the richest men in the world today.

Currently the NY Times has a staggering $1.1 BILLION in debt, which has proven to be difficult for the Sulzberger’s to pay off.

This past September acquired a 6.9% stake in the NY Times through several stock purchases. But since that time, the NY Times fiscal situation has worsened and now Calos Slim has stepped forward with another investment of $250 million, allowing the NY Times to meet a $400 million interest payment due in May.

As part of the agreement, Slim will pay a series of notes over six years, totaling $250 million, with warrants that convert to stock. The interest on the NY Times debt is a whopping 14%, of which 11% is cash, with the remaining 3% in the form of additional bonds.

At this point it remains unclear what Slim’s intentions are with the company. As one report noted, “When he bought his stake in September, Slim made clear that he wasn’t interested in influencing the company’s direction. Whether he holds true to that now is an open question.”

Times shares closed this past Friday at $6.41. Should it drop below $5/share, it will be relegated to virtual “penny stock” status, as mutual funds and pension funds are generally barred from buying stocks valued below $5/share.

Nicholas Kristof – Idiot at Large...







God, I hate to keep doing this, but I really can’t overlook THIS.

Let me first preface my upcoming remarks by noting that it’s really not Mr. Kristof’s fault. His limitations are not only all too obvious, but as they say, "They are what they are."

It just makes one wonder “Just who did he know or blow, to get that (high profile writing) job at the NY Times?”

I know the NY Times is very much into “hiring the handicapped,” they have been for a very long time – Walter Duranty (“Stalin’s USSR is a worker’s paradise”), Jason Blair (who penned “first-hand accounts” of far-away places from his Brooklyn flat), the “hair-twirler” (Maureen Dowd)...and the list goes on and on, but Mr. Kristof is so stultifyingly dimwitted that his hiring surely pushes the envelope on that policy.

In his latest offering (October 23, 2008), Mr. Kristof recounts an alleged conversation with an alleged and unidentified “Beijing friend,” and overlooks the most salient aspect of that alleged exchange to make an ancillary point that is, in essence, reducto absurdum.

I’ll let that pithy alleged exchange stand on its own;


Re-branding the U.S. With Obama

The NY Times
By Nicholas D. Kristof
October 23, 2008

The other day I had a conversation with a Beijing friend and I mentioned that Barack Obama was leading in the presidential race:

She: Obama? But he’s the black man, isn’t he?

Me: Yes, exactly.

She: But surely a black man couldn’t become president of the United States?

Me: It looks as if he’ll be elected.

She: But president? That’s such an important job! In America, I thought blacks were janitors and laborers.

Me: No, blacks have all kinds of jobs.

She: What do white people think about that, about getting a black president? Are they upset? Are they angry?

Me: No, of course not! If Obama is elected, it’ll be because white people voted for him.
[Long pause.]

She: Really? Unbelievable! What an amazing country!

We’re beginning to get a sense of how Barack Obama’s political success could change global perceptions of the United States, redefining the American “brand” to be less about Guantánamo and more about equality. This change in perceptions would help rebuild American political capital in the way that the Marshall Plan did in the 1950s or that John Kennedy’s presidency did in the early 1960s...
.

.
OK, quick, what is the most telling part of that alleged exchange?


Why surely it’s “She: "But surely a black man couldn’t become president of the United States? "

Me: "It looks as if he’ll be elected."


She: "But president? That’s such an important job! In America, I thought blacks were janitors and laborers."

Me: "No, blacks have all kinds of jobs."

She: "What do white people think about that, about getting a black president? Are they upset? Are they angry?"

Me: "No, of course not! If Obama is elected, it’ll be because white people voted for him."

[Long pause.]

She: "Really? Unbelievable! What an amazing country!"

Well, leaving how contrived and patently paternalistic ("the great white Liberal Kristof enlightening his ignorant "Beijing friend") that alleged exchange is, Kristof’s “Beijing friend” really seems to be enunciating a universal truth - that ethnic bigotry is the universal nature (and default position) of mankind and that such a thing would be inconceivable almost anywhere else in the contemporary world.


And THAT is without question, a fact.


Which also makes the last line of that exchange, “She: ...What an amazing country,” to be suspect, to say the least, especially, coming as it does, on the heels of the phrase "UNBELIEVABLE.!"


Of course, in my view, Mr. Kristof’s entire exchange is at least as suspect as his conclusions are convoluted...but again, his limitations are what they are and given what must be his admiration for the likes of Duranty and Blair....well...


So, Nick Kristof takes an alleged ringing endorsement of ethnic bigotry from an alleged “Beijing friend” as proof that “An Obama win will prove America a better place in the eyes of the rest of the world!”
.

WHY???


HOW???


Look, I’d have no doubt that a real “Beijing friend” would consider such a development “Unbelievable,” NOT because “racism is widely considered endemic to America,” as nimrods like Mr. Kristof insist, but because it IS endemic to the entire WORLD, because it’s endemic to the human condition! So riddle me this "Crayons" Kristof, "Why would a largely bigoted world see an absence of what they see as self-preservation, A GOOD THING?!"
.
Uhhhhhh.....Well, the short answer is, they wouldn't...and generally, they DON'T!


Consider, that as disgusted as the vast majority of Americans are by Jeremiah Wright’s “racist, anti-white, anti-American tirades,” is ANY American, black or white, all that surprised?!


Of course not!


Wright’s far from the first black bigot to freely and openly express his broiling hatred for whites, any more than Tom Metzger is the only white to openly express his own hatred for blacks.


Believe me, that one alleged exchange by the alleged “Op-Ed writer” Nicholas “Crayons” Kristof is, without question, absolute and irrefutable proof of how astoundingly, stupefyingly DUMB (so dumb, his dimwittedness is the stuff that other mentally challenged people make fun of) he really is.


What’s so sad about all this is that this is pretty much the standard of quality we’ve come to expect from the once “widely respected” NY Times.
