Going from the New York Times to Fox News is like swearing off heroin in favor of bubble gum.

Posted by Richard Nixon at July 15, 2003 6:02 AMI didn't trade the NYT for Fox News, I traded it for the internet.
Posted by Brian Perry at July 15, 2003 6:35 AMI find it easy not to fret about NYT when staring at E.D. Hill's legs (Fox and Friends). People can golf with whom ever they wish.
Posted by Phil Spomer at July 15, 2003 6:55 AMI gave up the NY Times after my bird died and no longer needed it in the bottom of the cage.
Posted by Mike Geer at July 15, 2003 8:00 AM12.1 Skip over all articles in local papers that have NYT bylines, or have obtained more than 1% of their facts from NYT.
12.2 Take remaning articles with a grain of salt.

Posted by Diane Hirschfeld at July 15, 2003 9:42 AMI've admitted I'm powerless and that the NYT is toxic to my system,
I've canceled my subscription and will go write "Inventory".
Hopefully, I'll soon be "recovered".

Posted by Van der Leun at July 15, 2003 4:06 PMWe ARE the New York Times.
We are still smarter than you.
Resistance is futile - prepare to be assimilated.
It's interesting how you've transformed the original twelve steps. You've replaced "higher power" with "Fox." You're saying, in effect, that Fox = God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it -- it's a joke.
Except it really isn't, is it? You really think Fox is Truth. You think Fox is as close to inerrant as it's possible for a news organization to be -- don't you?
Well, sorry, toots -- if that's what you think, you're the one in the cult. You're the one who's let a force take control of your life.
I live in Manhattan. Most people I know read the Times -- and most people I know complain about the Times: It's too biased. It won't take a stand. It's a mishmash. It's too pro-Israel. It's too pro-Palestinian.
But you Fox-worshipers think the light of truth shines out of Sean Hannity's ass. I don't know anyone who thinks the Times is always right, but I've never read a negative word about Fox from a right-winger, with the possible exception of a few muffled words of criticism for Alan Colmes (though most of you don't even bother with that, because you know what a fine doormat he is for Hannity). It's pathetic.
Congratulations on getting linked by Sullivan. Now maybe you can come up with a twelve-step program to get him to stop obsessing about a paper he despises. Hey Sully -- you don't like it? DON'T READ IT, FER CHRISSAKES!
Posted by Steve M. at July 15, 2003 8:17 PMHi Steve, I'm not about to take your inventory, but it appears that you have a serious problem with satire. Continuing down that road leads to pursed lips, a big frown line over the forhead and constipated thoughts. Lighten up amigo, your world will be better for it.
P.S., Fox News isn't G--, but it's better and more entertaining then the NYTimes.

Posted by Billy K at July 16, 2003 2:05 AMHi Steve! You shouldn't believe everything you read, especially in the Times. And beware of trying to cull out meanings where meanings do not exist. Otherwise you might become known as a Pecksniff.
Posted by Van der Leun at July 16, 2003 9:34 AMUnderstanding the enemy is of the utmost importance. Besides, my wife likes the crosswords.
Posted by Fat Man at August 25, 2009 2:52 PMFaux News sucks giant fake breasts (not much coming out). Understand cons, repeating words over and over and over again, does not necessarily make said words true.
Think faith.
Posted by RayGun at August 25, 2009 6:56 PMWe dropped the NYT in 2004 and the abominable Newark Star-Ledger in 2008. The benefits were immediate and profound. We just read the WSJ now, but miss having something to read on Sunday. Are you listening, Murdoch?
