NY Times? Raines, Boyd Resign

What ever will we all write about now?

When was it ever worthy of it?

So will NYTimes bashers make themselves useful and point us to Newpapers/Magazines that are paragons of journalistic integrity since the Times can now clearly only be used for wrapping fish in ?

The battle has hardly begun. Now we must rid the nation's newsrooms of werewolves, vampires and devil-robots.

"Only Reason"

Goes without saying :=)

Sulzberger will find it easy to replace them. There is a huge supply of egomaniacal leftist bullies.

Geez, whatever will we do without washed-up, '60's radicals spoon-feeding us our news? At least we still have CNN,MSNBC,LATimes,ABC,CBS,NBC . . .

[Warren]

yeah, this is a non-story. Only of interest to those actualy involved. The NYT was crap and now it will be crap run by different people.

NY Times editors resign? That's ridiculous. Who's reporting this? The NY Times?

[Croesus]

Does this mean Andrew Sullivan gets his job back? 🙂 I know he's been pissed ever since Raines kicked off the editorial page.

I'm glad the head honchos fell on their swords. The Times suffered from its own arrogance, and that arrogance got caught up with them starting with the Jayson Blair fiasco. While Raines was busy doing tirades about the Augusta National Golf Club, the War with Iraq, the tax cut, and any other liberal agenda of the moment, his people were letting these HUGE journalistic blunders go on unchecked.

The Times is no longer worthy of its slogan "All the news that's fit to print." Until they finish cleaning up their act, they should be running a new slogan on thier front page:

"All the news that's fit to wrap fish in."

Maybe then they'll be humble enough to remember what good journalism is all about.

WASHINGTON, June 2 (UPI) -- As the U.S. media still digests the shock and lessons of the Jayson Blair affair at The New York Times, a far older and far worse journalistic wrong may soon be posthumously righted. The Pulitzer Prize board is reviewing the award it gave to New York Times Moscow correspondent Walter Duranty more than 70 years ago for his shamefully -- and knowingly -- false coverage of the great Ukrainian famine.

Keep the tradition alive NY Times!

I'm just glad that the NYT has followed its own edicts that it directed at the Wall Street firms. When someone in the middle screws up or breaks the law (analyst, accountant, etc.), the heads at the top should roll. As Dakota Loomis put in the comments for the above post: "Karma is a bitch."
