NYT readers not misinformed

See like Fox would just say- "It looks like the Rather memos are fakes." But the NYT helps the reader understand what to do with the information they're fakes:

Memos on Bush Are Fake but Accurate, Typist Says

Hurray for the PAPER OF RECORD!

Let's try here...."Ty, never said "quagmire" in a post, but saying he did is accurate."

or like this "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, we have no evidence of what happened, but if we did, I bet it would look like Exhibit 1."
It was almost as transparent as the NYTimes review of Kitty Kelly's book wherein they "tsk, tsk" Kelly for recklessly accusing the Bushes of infidelity, drug use, abortion, draft-dodging, etc...

... by listing every single salacious and unsubstantiated accusation made by Kelly in the book. I was considering buying the book, but now I don't have to. Kelly should sue the Times for lost profits.

Rather has to go. He lost it long ago. He's like Andy Rooney, but he's no fun to laugh either with or at.

This morning, some guy gave an interview in which he said Kerry asked him to inflate claims of war crimes committed in Vietnam. This is the saddest election ever. Two guys with "nuthin" - absolutely "nuthin".
