The NYTimes Today: A Profile in Media Whoredom

If you ever needed a perfect example of the decrepit state of the corporate-controlled media, you will find no better "Exhibit A" than today's NYTimes. Today's paper is among the worst I have seen in years, and that is really saying something...It is simply stunning what has become of the paper. Today's ridiculousness:

1. Judith Miller on the U.N Oil for food program. 'Nuff said.

2. Todd Purdum's attempt to exonerate Bush on the DSM and other memos, using terminology and words better suited for a college newspaper

3. A fawning profile of the Heritage Foundation's intern program

4. Huge front-page piece and 1.5 inside pages on Michael Jackson.

I'm really kind of speechless
