Yet another Hulla Baloo on the other side of the Atlantic.
The Bush Administration is at loggerheads with The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times!
The two influential U.S. newspapers disclosed that the government has examined banking transactions involving thousands of Americans after 9/11 and suddenly they are being labeled “traitors” by Republicans …
Their editors have been threatened with death; some politicians even state that its time to gag these newspapers …
But the Republicans still don’t seem contented; they remain hopping mad.
It’s hard to believe, but commentator Ann Coulter, a right-wing pundit, said that The New York Times building should be bombed!
“Such a bombing would have been appropriate only if Times’ reporters and editors were inside,” the “attached” commentator added!
Many maintained Coulter made a witty remark …
However, Coulter, as a guest on Fox network TV program, said, “I stand by my comment. The New York Times has betrayed the nation!”
***
But how? The Times was among the fervent supporters of the Bush Administration before the Iraqi War …
It was among the planners of the war …
Fabricated articles, all bylined by Judith Miller that Iraq possessed weapon of mass destruction, were published in The New York Times!
However, eventually, everything turned topsy-turvy …
Before the confusion began, The Times published an apology admitting it had deceived readers about the basis for going to war with Iraq.
Later, the tricks of the “Woman of Mass Destruction,” Judith Miller, were exposed in the famed Spy-gate Scandal [the scandal surrounding the “outing” of CIA agent Valerie Plame] …
Miller, because of her relations with Vice President Cheney’s adviser, [Scooter] Libby, concocted the “lies of mass destruction” Libby asked her to write.
The Times was not a traitor when it was reinforcing the government’s lies, thanks to Miller’s fabricated articles. She was even declared a heroine!
In those good old days, the “media weapons of mass destruction” used by The Times were considered a good thing …
Many lies have been told and the psychological operations have intensified ever since: So now, there are some who want The New York Times to be bombed.
Vice President Cheney condemned The Times, saying, “Some in the press have made the job of securing national security more difficult,” adding that the newspaper “undermines counter-terrorism efforts …”
In addition, Cheney expressed outrage and said it was a scandal that The New York Times won a Pulitzer for its reporting on “the government’s tracking of bank records.”
Bush said it was “disgraceful” that the American news media had made such disclosures.
This is the issue and there is only one thing the Bush Administration can do: It should immediately announce to the American people that according to certain intelligence information, there are weapons of mass destruction in the cellar of The New York Times building!
And then The Times building should be bombed!
Ann Coulter will therefore be tickled pink …
Miller is no longer with The Times, but Libby will have no trouble finding another insider!
So, “The New Miller” can start writing an article right away with the headline, “With my own eyes, I saw the weapons of mass destruction at The Times.
