Now where is the cowardly and dishonest New York Times? \u00a0They rushed to pin the Loughner shootings on Sarah Palin, and hid behind a fusillade of excuses. \u00a0I will never forget their snivelling attempt to explain their wrongdoing, entitled Time, The Enemy<\/a>. \u00a0As if those SOBs are the only people to work on a deadline. \u00a0The problem is that there is no deadline for smearing conservatives–that’s an internal goal, not a requirement of publication.<\/p>\n

The real problem is that they focus on interpreting, rather than reporting. \u00a0Everything must go into the narrative, or it is rejected. \u00a0They felt that they could not report on the Loughner shooting without somehow pinning it on conservatives, because a prominent victim was a popular Democrat.<\/p>\n

Notice that no matter how many times the “blame Republicans–oops, we’re sorry” game is made, the innocent mistakes never seem to go against Democrats.<\/p>\n

Hours ago, Hoffa exhorted his leftist base to “take out those sons of bitches” on the right, and now somebody has shot up an IHOP, with two National Guard members dead.<\/p>\n

I demand the New York Times get t the bottom of this. \u00a0They can even make up a connection if they wish–God knows they have a whole profession dedicated to not only getting into that sort of thing but getting out of it as well.<\/p>\n

Jerry Ceppos<\/a>, dean of\u00a0the journalism school<\/a> at the University of Nevada, Reno, said journalists\u2019 impulse to quickly impose a frame on a story is \u201cgenetic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalists developed automatic framing protocols generations ago because of the need to report quickly,\u201d he said. \u201cToday\u2019s hyper-deadlines, requiring journalists to report all day long and all night long, made that genetic disposition even more dominant.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shameful and biased, they say these things with a straight face.<\/p>\n
