Don't Cry For Or About The New York Times

The once great New York Times still leads but the media that it leads no longer is mainstream, although that misleading appellation often continues to be mistakenly used. The once mighty institutions have transformed themselves into the left trickle media lacking credibility for all but the most obtuse among us.

The decline and fall of the Times, which led the old media's meandering off into the insignificant rill that they are today, is traced in a recent book that is reviewed here.

However, the author of the book errs in implicitly suggesting, as the reviewer explicitly states, that the Times continues to matter. Only fools still consider it to be a reliable source of information as it has sacrificed its virtue to promote a questionable agenda and led much of the rest of the fourth estate down into the same gully.

The fact of the matter is that the once good gray lady has become a cheap painted tart. It now leads only the other propagandizing journalistic harlots lining the muddy gutter.
