I haven't taken anything out of context, that's the NYTimes's job. You can buy it yourself: September 20, 2001, Thursday After a Delay, U.S. Envoy Starts in Post At the U.N. It was page A7, 3rd paragraph.

I'm sure you remember that the NYTimes published a news article about some lovable Left anarchist who reveled in bombing the Pentagon. His name was Ayers or the like and is married to some other Left terrorist and now living the good life in IL. That was good timing coming as it did just as the WTC and Pentagon were torched. But the NYTimes's affinity for Lefty terrorists is a LT affair. On July 20, 2001 the New York Times published a large, prominent op-ed piece by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, called "What the Protestors in Genoa Want." The authors are identified only as the authors of a book called "Empire." Yet, less than 2 weeks ago, the Times published a long article about "Empire" and its authors. In it, we learn that the two met in Paris, "where Mr. Negri had fled to avoid serving his jail sentence. (In 1997, he returned to Rome -- and went directly to prison.)" Earlier in the article, we read of "the allure of Mr. Hardt's flamboyant co-author, Antonio Negri, a 68-year-old Italian philosopher and suspected terrorist mastermind who is serving a 13-year prison sentence in Rome for inciting violence during the turbulent 1970's." Let's put aside for the moment the fact that the op-ed piece didn't even come close to saying anything comprehensible about "what the protestors in Genoa want." Was it crazy to expect the Times to mention that the co-author of their op-ed piece is a terrorist mastermind serving a 13-year prison sentence for inciting violence?

On (July 15) the New York Times devoted four and a quarter pages to an alleged analysis of "irregularities" in the tabulation of overseas absentee ballots in the Florida vote. Sunday 7/15 edition, wherein The Times proclaims "How Bush Took Florida: Mining the Overseas Absentee Vote." Yet somehow they failed to mention that Federal courts had ordered the military ballots counted - but if they had done that there would have been no need for the article - other than to provide pro-Dem spin. And that was clearly the NYTimes purpose even though they had no point since they eventually admit that Bush would have won even if no "mining" had been allowed - except that it wasn't "mining", it was the law. Would it not have been more appropriate to ask the Times to devote equal energy to determining what the outcome would have been had the approximately 5,000 ballots cast illegally by convicted felons not been counted? Everyone knows those were primarily Dem votes.
