The NYT really has become sad with the constant blowing of Pres Hussein.

As the "paper of record" for the country my wife has a subscription for use in her MBA program. The 73% positive rating of stories in the NYT seems low, but still is an amazing number. When the media no longer has the desire to dig below the printed handouts from any press department, what is their purpose?

Congratulations. Your presidential regime has managed to secure the most supine, slobbering, spineless, unquestioning media coverage since Enver Hoxha's Albania.
At least the Albanian media had an excuse- they didn't want to be killed
