New York Times out to Destroy a Presidency ...

You might as well call them "The New York Slimes." Based on their coverage of President Bush's tour of South America there can be no doubt that the formerly great news institution is now an agenda-driven editorial machine using its significant influence for self-motivated purposes.

There is nothing fair and balanced about the articles The New York Times has written on this very important trip. Instead of giving recognition to an American president for finally taking steps to start a movement away from oil dependency, they choose to focus on protesters promoted by regional thug, strongman and arch anti-America advocate Hugo Chavez.

The editors of The New York Times have declared open warfare on the Bush administration and will continue to do so for the balance of his term. They arrogantly use their reach to push a far-left agenda to insure a democrat wins the office of presidency in 08. It is a terrible misuse of influence and it is important that it be memorialized.

Several major news agencies have joined the New York Times in this campaign. NBC News, MSNBC and Newsweek magazine all share the same agenda. It is more important than ever to track this behavior. The presidential primary season has been revamped. Primaries are scheduled earlier and closer together than ever before. Tons of money must be raised much faster in order for candidates to have a shot for contending. News coverage will have a major influence on determining who will be able to emerge as front runners.

I want to stress that this site and editor are neither Republicans nor Democrats. We are moderates that do not agree with the extreme 20% of either party. Our coverage will be fair and focus on the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate's policies. However, we will always focus on media manipulation as we believe it to be extremely dangerous to both the democratic process and the ultimate safety of the country. When a Chavez or the Taliban can count on the New York Times as an ally in achieving it's objectives, it's obvious something is very wrong.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, March 9 — President Bush began the first full day of his weeklong trip to Latin America here on Friday promising job-creating aid but ended up competing for attention with President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, who called the American visit an act of imperialism, adding, “Gringo, go home!”
