All The News That's Fit Our Agenda

The New York Times sends me an internet email daily about the social beat in the city. I lived in NYC for over 10 years, and I love keeping in touch. Recently they have updated their format to include the news headlines as well.

This morning, I wondered how they would handle Memorial Day, considering their candidate is in office and we are still a presence in Iraq. Would they show festivities or memorial services being held around the city? Guess what? Nothing! Not one word. There were more than a dozen stories in this web issue, but not a syllable to remember the dead, who fought for freedom of the press.

Once upon a time, the New York Times stood alone, or close to it, as a voice of the people. It formed opinions and was used as gospel for current events. I guess they have swallowed their own kool-aid, and now they are in the business of deciding what the opinion of the people should be. IMHO Today, they are just a more respected National Enquirer (Hell even the National Enquirer is a more respected paper these days).

The tragic part is that they are still forming impressionable minds and being used as gospel truth, when in fact they are just an expensive propaganda machine.

The New York Times is role modeling ingratitude for the masses.

Memorial Day isn't being pro-war. It is being pro-American; saying thank you to the Americans who served and sacrificed their lives for our country.

Thank you to all the families who have lost their loved ones so that we can, at least for today, continue to breathe free.

Freedom isn't Free
