I wish his letter had shown up in NYT and WaPo and was picked up by AP and Rueters.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513693238751837829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-47394684970550970822014-12-26T21:34:31.551+01:002014-12-26T21:34:31.551+01:00The NYT is well known to play ball with the govern...The NYT is well known to play ball with the government. For example, they participated in the orchestrated deception to convince the public to support the ill conceived Iraq invasion in 2003. This was arranged by allowing articles written by Judy Miller to be published. These articles contained falsehoods which were in turn used to convince senators to back the war. The NYT seems to be playing ball with Obama to gather support among the radical left the Democratic Party will need in 2016. if we see Fox News softball opposition to Obama's soft policy towards Cuba then it's an Israel lobby move. They are selling Cubazuela for something. Why do I bring up the Israel lobby? That's the only force able to make the NYT and Fox News get on the same side. I'm sorry if I sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I'm sketching my thoughts "by free hand".
