The NY Times LOLOL How many corrections did they have today? 25? 35? "Judging by the hysteria spilling from the New York Times during the run-up to the Republican convention in the city, you'd think that George W. Bush was thrashing Sen. John Kerry by 10 points in every single snapshot poll. ... This is not rational, but then the Times (in almost every section of the paper), is rapidly losing its grip on reality. In fact, the winner of November's election is a mystery today and will likely remain so until after the debates between Bush and Kerry, or if some unanticipated catastrophe should occur. "I'm as jaded about the Times' de facto coordination with the Democratic National Committee as anyone ... but the daily's lead editorial on Aug. 29, 'Abolish the Electoral College,' gave cause for a double-take. ... I understand that 'every vote counts' is a mantra hummed by both parties, and in Democratic circles simply code for 'No More Floridas!' but why did the Times choose this particular time to oppose the most basic rule of presidential politics? "Obviously, the paper's owners and editors are terrified that Bush might be re-elected." —Russ Smith, writing on "What If Bush Wins?" Wednesday in the New York Press
