1. The NYT is a Dilettante Playing at Journalism while Credulously Following State Dept. Propaganda

Those NYT scandals involving the reporters making shit up didn't happen in a vacuum...it's just that local and domestic "news" propaganda is much more easily debunked than concocted reports on events outside the country, where average Americans don't have many eyes on the ground to refute the wild and crazy stories spread deliberately by sleazy operators to embarrass and manipulate Congress and public opinion.

That's the whole Bradley Manning /Julian Assange / Wikileaks affair in a nutshell.
