I have tried to resist....

the notion that the New York Times is profoundly anti-American and convinced myself they are simply leftists. But now I'm just not so sure.


The New York Times got itself sideways with many bloggers with its story cautioning against criticizing brutal terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s for his incompetence in handling a machine gun in a recently released videotape.

Little Green Footballs: “Times leaps to defend the dignity … of Zarqawi”

The Mudville Gazette: “The New York Times and Associated Press are rushing to defend … Zarqawi”

Junkyard Blog: “NYT: It’s wrong to mock Zarqawi”

Sweetness and Light: “Times defends Zarqawi’s skills”

Keep in mind, this is the monster who PERSONALLY sawed off Nicholas Berg's head on video.
