Ethical Cesspool at NYTimes

86 the Mainstream Media brings to light a story entirely typical of the hypocrisy one has come to expect from the despicable and dishonest New York Times.

Quoting 86 the MSM: “Several blogs we follow have been howling about sleazy behavior at the oh-so-high-brow New York Times Book Review. Lynn Dolnick, a member of the ruling Sulzberger family and a director of the Times corporate board, appears to be receiving more than her share of deference from the supposedly independent editors of the book review. They’ve gone into overdrive promoting a mediocre biography of an art forger by Lynn’s husband Edward Dolnick, even though everyone from The Chicago Tribune to the New Yorker says that another new book on the same subject–totally unmentioned by the Times’ book reviewers–is far better.”

Even in the Book Review section, the Times is an ethical cesspool. What this incident makes clear is that the Times is just a business like any other, run for the benefit of its owners. Regardless of its pretensions to objectivity and cultural distinction, it is nothing more than a corrupt, dishonest, self-dealing relic whose time has come and gone. Luckily, the once mighty Times is now a money-losing disaster of company whose stock is as worthless as its editorial opinions. The internet and the unfiltered voice of the people are finally poised to slay the beast. The day is nigh, and it cannot come a moment too soon.
