Hmm... You make fair points, but what I'm trying to say is that I don't trust NYT because of stuff like this: http://www.salon.com/2010/10/24/assange_2/ http:/

You don't trust the New York Times because Glenn Greenwald wrote a piece for Salon calling them Nixonian? That piece is too inflammatory for me to take seriously. The New York Times wrote a hit piece on someone? A scurrilous hit piece filled with every possible rumor? Really? Every one of them, you say? When you write something like that, you'd better be able to back it up with something more than moral support from Daniel Ellsberg. You can't say you're a serious consumer of the news if you select the publications you trust based on whether they support your pet causes.
