The Maureen Dowd faction has taken over the the New York Times.
They have gone beyond the initial swooning, fawning and gushing.  This week, Obama morphed to OLincoln.  And today, he's OChrist.  The front page is sure to delight SNL writers.

It stops being funny when a the world's most respected newspaper puts its credibility on the line for a politician.  When they pass spin off as news.

Even worse, today, Jeff Zeleny built a hit-piece around around a lie.

Had I not read Alegre's diary, I would now hate Bill Clinton.  The piece in entirety is pasted below.

Jeff Zeleny implies Clinton's comment is contained. In actuality, Zeleny lifted it out of context."it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country."

Zeleny made it seem as if Clinton is taking advantage of the Wright fracas and is saying that Obama does not love his country. Or that Clinton should be running against McCain. Alegre's diary has the video, showing the offending sentence in its proper context. http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/3/22/21321/1712

The news isn't about Bill Clinton or Obama, it is about corruption within the New York Times.

I would be happy to participate in a "Take Back our Newspaper" demonstration in front of the NYT building next week-end.  Or maybe a simple boycott is in order.

Today's front page NYT "Political Memo" reads like
snark from SNL.

It goes beyond the mere Obama Worship that CNN and
MSNBC has been assaulting us with.

Now, Obama is a Holy martyr.  He is JFK and Dr. King rolled
into one politician.

In somber, hushed tones, Jeff Zeleny speaks of the imminent assassination
of Mr. Obama.

Has Obama been threatened?  Well, the NYT doesn't actually
say that.  They don't HAVE TO.  This is the NYT, after all.

Only the dark Queen of Evil could even think about criticizing him now.

This post is in response to a Diary I just read from a fellow Obama supporter who had expressed his displeasure in the way that too many others within the MyDD Community have mischaracterized Barack Obamas supporters. I concur with his sentiment and I was going to respond to the Diary, but ended up writing a response that was too long. Hence, the separate Diary.I am a supporter of Barack Obama and I will tell you why in as simple a way as I can. While what I post is not reflective of the entirety of Obamas Policies, they are , specifically, the ones that make ME support him. My support has little to do with charm and charisma, and more to do with my belief that Obama has the ability to put forth these polices.
