In looking at the continuing saga of Dame Judith’s promotion to martyrdom in the cause of the First Amendment, I was struck by the vehement defense of the selfsame Dame by the editorialists at NYT.In not one but three separate editorials, the have compared this sleazebag to Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and barely missed canonizing her.
To me that defense and the heavy promotion of the WMD stories without verification by the NYT shows that the Times as an institution either got stuck with Judy’s preposterous claims or was itself part of the enablers for the war on Iraq.This would not be the first time American Press has served as propaganda tools for administrations.
