]]> <![CDATA[Bloomberg Thinking About Thinking About Buying <i>Times</i>]]> @8Millionth: I'm not anywhere near enough of a fanboy to defend the Times for its role in getting us into this humanitarian catastrophe (and you're right in pointing out that NYT employs the biggest war-promoting blowhole on the planet).

But Barstow's article does bring to light the collusion of the media, the Pentagon, and businesses which got us into Iraq in the first place, and how they, to this day, manipulate us into staying there. It's not the typical "gotcha" crap, and it's too subtle and complex to be distilled into a newswire. It's the kind of reporting that might just keep us out of Iran.

I can not imagine a place, for example, for William Kristol at a Bloomberg owned times.

As for @ragepotato, it is clear that story is years late, and the Times ran the propaganda many times in the first place. Why not admit, several years after the fact, that they made mistakes and helped start a war which has killed a million Iraqis? It will bring them back to life, dontcha know?

So, after doing all that for the Times, he's going to turn around and buy the company? It makes me nostalgic for the day's when politicians were just whores, not pimps.

it takes a lot to laugh

Tad, who pulled the thing off of me, has become a faithful husband. He also thinks that the fact that my legs were made into mulch is quite sexy. Hope you've found love, too. No worries.

I knew someone would eventually come along and pull that tractor off of you.

ragepotato
