Tony At 10: LETTER TO THE NY TIMES; BLOG # 2067; JAN 13, 2017

THE MESSAGE:

When it comes to political opinion, the New York Times is an unworthy piece of unmitigated crap. It is rivalled in media circles by CNN. Instead of editorial comments that actually deliver some semblance of truth, they continue to post sour grape pieces that gullible readers will buy into. These preachers of 'gloom and doom' decry the election of a different type of leader and bombard the editorials with negative tripe while still seeking the approval and promoting the cause of people like the Clintons, Tom Steyer, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace.

Honest editorial opinion is welcomed; however, it should be balanced with some degree of unbiased thought. Instead this paper chooses to present negative opinions of a certain political bent while praising the efforts of their opponents.

This paper has devoted very little space to address the Clinton's alleged involvement with 'Pizzagate'.

The deletion, by Hillary, of thousands of her emails arouses the curious and suspicious mind. What was the extent of Podesta's involvement? But I guess that stuff is better left to the tabloids.

In the interest of practicing what I preach I must say that I enjoy doing the daily crossword puzzles of the NY Times.

THE BLURB:

A 2015 Fox News poll found that only 3% of Americans believed that climate change was "the most important issue facing America today."

That means 97% disagreed with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Tom Steyer that global warming was the greatest threat to America. This didn't stop Hillary Clinton from telling West Virginians that she would put every coal miner out of a job. The Times went silent.
