Media >> Bill Kristol To Become New York Times Columnist In 2008

HAS ANYONE FORGOTTEN, THEIR ROLE IN THE ILLEGAL WAR AND OCCUPATION OF IRAQ?

NY Times Confirms Hiring Kristol

Deja Vu Remember Judith Miller,

Her criminal Lies about Iraq ,

Where does it stop I wonder?

The Huffington Post has learned that, in a move bound to create controversy, the New York Times is set to announce that Bill Kristol will become a weekly columnist in 2008. Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative who recently departed Time magazine in what was reported as a "mutual" decision, has close ties to the White House and is a well-known proponent of the war in Iraq. Kristol also is a regular contributor to Fox News' Special Report...

Cancel your New York Times sub

Now that the New York Times has decided to hire one of the leading war criminals as a columnist (William Kristol), it's time to send the Times the one message that all corporations understand: stop buying the rag.
In a just world, Kristol would be one of many neocons sharing a crowded jail cell for their participation in war crimes and assaults on the Constitution.
I propose that everyone who currently subscribes to the New York Times cancel their subscriptions, and explain in a note that the cancellation is a result of this despicable hiring. If you buy the Times at a newsstand, stop, and tell the newsstand why you're stopping. If you're a complete addict, and start suffering withdrawal, you can read what you want online, always keeping in mind that everything you are reading is being filtered through a corporate mind that thought there was nothing wrong with bringing a war criminal on board.

Dear Editors:
I am flabbergasted that the New York Times has chosen to reward one of the architects of the Iraq debacle. Is there no price to be paid in American life anymore for being spectacularly, catastrophically wrong - in the process, causing your nation incalcuable harm? Has this reckless ideologue, and ruthless propagandist for American militarism run amok, earned a higher profile - indeed, a plum columnist gig at the alleged "paper of record"?
Sincerely yours,

The connection between the NYT and the Bush White House was never more evident than during the last news cycle of the destroyed CIA tapes. The White House/CIA only announced the tapes existence and destruction after learning (one has to guess how they learned) that the NYT was going to publish the information.
I am disgusted that Billy Kristol has been given an outlet to espouse his paranoia and the murderous policy recommendations of one of the neocon movement's most influential groups - PNAC.

I am glad they did it, to be honest.
Not only does it say 'We are the NYT and we are CORRUPT!'.
It also makes that little pr*ck...touchable.
Just think of how EVERY comment section on his articles will actually read.
At this point, he really is arrogant enough to believe he is completely unaccountable. But the NYT is not quite the protective bubble he thinks it is.
I can not wait to burst his bubble.
Wanna talk about the war, billy? OK, 911 and PNAC too! Ohhh, and Judy Miller, let's not leave her out! Oh, and Scooter and Wolfawitz, and the Iraq Study Group and Valerie Plame TOO!
Whats wrong billy, you look shocked we remember all that! And that it will FOLLOW YOU!
HAHA!

Watching the NYT turn itself into Pravda is not just horrifying but compelling.
It is like watching the prettiest coolest mom on the block slowly transform into a feener crack ho.
How sad.
