3. I don't call them the New York Slimes for nothing!

Two major reasons:

1. Their 'star' war correspondent, Judith Miller and her damnable lies about WMDs in Iraq --and her palling around with Rumsfeld. Utterly disgusting!

2. Their abominable treatment of Hugo Chavez and the incredible leftist revolution in Latin America inspired by Chavez and by the people of Venezuela. Slander after slander. Lies upon lies. Utterly disgusting!

There are more reasons, of course, but these stick out in my mind. I just guffawed an their recent anti-torture editorial, after all they did to support the horrible crimes of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Co.! They do publish Paul Krugman. He is definitely worth reading, but luckily I get some of his columns via syndication in a local paper, so I don't have to buy the Slimes (and wouldn't). Aside from that, the Slimes is...well, slime.
