What a bunch of hate.

The folks writing these comments obviously have no idea what goes into writing and publishing the NYT, or any other paper for that matter.

I don't think it's clear that the NYT has a news section, which tries to report as objectively as possible, and an editorial section, which is pro-Isaeli/center-left, for all its range of opinion.

And the mainstream media, by the way, don't exist. You take the news writer by writer and piece by piece. Some of it's good, some bad, almost all of it's better than the noise in the blogosphere or radio talkshows.

The people breaking news for the NYT are working hard to fact-check and write a good story -- and for the most part, they're doing a damn good job. It's those people who are going to lose their jobs.

So laugh it up.
