FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
Buffalo Springfield

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line, the men come, and take you away

<< "AND WHY is it so important to the NYT to get the story so wrong?" >>

The NYT illegally leaked the NSA warrantless wiretap story. Besides being typical left wingers with BDS, they have insisted from the start that this was an "illegal" case of "domestic spying" by the eeeeevil Chimpy McBushHitler Admin. They simply have to continue to misrepresent all facts contrary to their now well entrenched position. And since they are in control of what gets reported to most Americans, they still believe they can get away with it.

....As we noted here...

...[New York Times reporter] Eric Lichtblau has a huge personal investment in the idea (wrong, I think) that the NSA program is "illegal." Is Lichtblau's commitment to that proposition causing him to report falsely on testimony that was given to a Senate committee?

....Eric Lichtblau has a considerable career investment (and, I suspect, an ideological investment as well) in the idea that the NSA program is illegal. It would seem that Lichtblau's preconceptions and biases prevented him from accurately reporting what happened in the Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday. His suggestion that the main thrust of the judges' testimony was to "voice skepticism about the president's constitutional authority" is simply wrong; in fact, I can't find a single line in more than 100 pages of transcript that supports Lichtblau's reporting. It's a sad thing when a once-respected newspaper can't be counted on for a straight account of a Congressional hearing.
