RIP NY Times. Long live Washington Post?

[gulliver]

I hate to say it, but I no longer think of the NY Times as the paper of record. I personally think that the Washington Post now has that distinction.

1. Yeah, until they get serious about changing.

eond of mess.

[SeattleRob]

2. They both suck!!!

THey both have had issues - well beyond the current Bush pimping.

I say, long live the Internet and the Blogs!

3. Bingo

but the post has it's bought people too

4. I guess you didn't see their Wilson smear piece today?

:grr:

They do seem to cover more truth than the Times lately though.

5. New York Slimes

Once the Grey Lady, the example set for all print journalism to follow. Now it probably doesn't even make decent toilet paper.

6. Don't trust any of them

Where's there's tons of money to be made, there's fat old white guys in Brook's Brothers suits figuring out ways to make more of it. And you can bet there is at least one person, probably more, at the WP on the White House's payroll. They're just smarter than the idjits at the NYT, and realize when to throttle back so as not to look too obvious.

7. Oh really, have you read Dana Milbank's latest piece of drek for WaPo

attacking Joe Wilson.

Not quite ready to give the Washington Post my confidence just yet thank you.

I'll go look for the link.

Here it is.

8. Yeah mean the same WaPo that was going to give money

and support to the Donald Rumsfeld Freedom March Lollapalooza in D.C.? Until the ethics group for media suggested that they should be REPORTING on the news and not SUPPORTING MILITARISM?

FEH

9. Fuck no.

The Times might be so much trash for the most part, but its still a far sight better than the Post. I mean, they did have sense enough there to hire Paul Krugman.

The problems with the Post,though, are more subtle and insidious: a bad case of beltway-insiderism.
