NYT running out of ways to undercut the war?
With tongue set firmly in check, Scrappleface declares that the New York Times is running out of ways to undercut the War on Terror:
(2007-06-04) — Editors at The New York Times are reportedly concerned that the nation’s “paper of record” may run out of ways to undercut the U.S. war effort in Iraq before the November 2008 presidential elections, and perhaps much sooner.
In what some insiders call “the nightmare scenario,” the Times would exhaust its supply of demoralizing stories based on leaked information even before the end of the 2007 calendar year.
The news comes on a day when the Times’ lead story, drawn from a leaked Pentagon document, alleges that U.S. commanders are disappointed about the progress of the troop surge in clearing and securing Baghdad neighborhoods.
According to unnamed sources in the Time newsroom, “Our only hope is a steady flow of leaks from the Pentagon and State Department. So, we still have a fighting chance.”
C’mon NYT, you can do it! Air America and the Daily Kos are counting on you!
