Good catch! This needs to be spread far and wide.

2. You know what really makes me giggle?

I don't think that the overlords, who planned to destroy our democracy---factored in
the Internet and newer technologies.

Seriously. If you think about it--it's laughable.

We all know that the neocons have been plotting for decades. For Pete's sake, it's on
record that the neocons asked then-President Bill Clinton for war with Iraq (Clinton
rebuffed their demands, btw).

Look at what we have now. The Internet captures the lies, like and spin like the
example in this OP.

Look at what we did to officer Baloney. He was filmed with a cell-phone camera, the
video went viral--and was even slowed down and the culprit cop was identified, shamed,
made into the villain that he is--and now there's an investigation regarding his actions.

We've got tons of people filming with cameras and cell phones and we've got live-stream
video.

We've got Twitter, Facebook and other social media that tell the story in real time. Plus,
we've got Progressive blogs that get the word out.

When those bastard, neocon corporatists envisioned their sick plan--they couldn't have even
imagined current technology and how it would impede their crimes and HELP "We The People".

I ****LOVE**** it!!

7. look like Al Baker is begging for the same retribution.

hmmmm....who is his editor?

[truedelphi]

23. Clinton rebuffed the PNAC folks on the Iraq War -

And in return for that, within six weeks, he and Monica were the biggest headline on every TV screen for the next eighteen months.

The Powers that Be know how to keep people in their place. The President of The USA must do the bidding of the PTB, or suffer the consequences.

one edit - And the consequences to Mr Clinton were nowhere near as extreme as the consequences to JFK.

3. and one more thing...

These changes made by the New York Times demonstrates that the powers-that-be
are paying close attention to the protests and the media coverage. They're on it!!

And they're demanding that stories be changed to BLAME the protesters and provide
cover for the cops.

They're monitoring what is said---then they're TELLING THE MEDIA WHAT TO SAY--and
the media is complying without reservation, and in record time!

They're so damn afraid.

As well they should be, because this time--they're crimes, greed and control won't have
any effect on the peaceful revolution that is here (and growing) in this country.

4. Looks like Al Baker decided to step in and make things "right".

Nice catch.

[blm]

5. This needs to go viral....can you put it on Facebook? Twitter?

6. Anyone still wonder why the NYTimes is having major

financial difficulties? With its shameless whoring, who could any longer trust a word the NYT published?

[CoffeeCat]

8. It's such a shame...the NY Times was once a GREAT...

...newspaper, and now it's nothing more than one of useless rags that kow tow to the
corporate overlords.

It's very sad.

I guess you could say...the "Gray Lady" has turned into a cheap whore.

[blm]

9. yep...they helped sell invasion of Iraq for access to a criminally treasonous WH.

and how much is THAT costing our nation?

[CoffeeCat]

10. Yeah, who can forget Judith Miller...

...and her lies, spin, lies, bullshit, lies, fantasies, lies. Oh and her lies.

The fact that the New York Times allowed her false and baseless articles to be
published--demonstrates their lack of credibility.

11. It was updated before you posted this...11:59, and now again at 3:35

... many protesters said that they thought the police had tricked and trapped them, allowing them onto the bridge and even escorting them across, only to surround them in orange netting after hundreds of them had entered.

“The cops watched and did nothing, indeed, seemed to guide us onto the roadway,” said Jesse A. Myerson, a media coordinator for Occupy Wall Street who was in the march but was not arrested...

Etan Ben-Ami, 56, a psychotherapist from Brooklyn who was up on the walkway, said that the police seemed to make a conscious decision to allow the protesters to claim the road. “They weren’t pushed back,” he said. “It seemed that they moved at the same time.”

Mr. Ben-Ami said he left the walkway and joined the crowd on the road. “It seemed completely permitted,” he said. “There wasn’t a single policeman saying ‘don’t do this’.”

He added: “We thought they were escorting us because they wanted us to be safe.” He left the bridge when he saw officers unrolling the nets as they prepared to make arrests...

16. I sometimes wonder if some news outlets don't respond to internet chatter.

That particular NYT blog was very fluid.

21. another fine example of our pathetic media and the death of journalism...no integrity whatsoever

[blm]

22. NONE...hasn't been for 2 decades now. Of course, they'll apologize for this, too, in about 8yrs.

Probably just to assuage their own guilty feelings before they retire.

24. The NYT has been a whore for some time now

pathetic waste of trees and other resources.
