Bitch slapping Arthur O Sulzberger

Answer: Publisher, The New York Times
Question: Daddy, what do you call someone who manufactures polls, manipulates the truth, and lies in an attempt to subvert American policy?
  • Poll Finds Most in U.S. Support Delaying a War (2/14/03)

  • Opinions Begin to Shift as Public Weighs Costs of War (3/26/03)

  • World's View of U.S. Sours After Iraq War, Poll Finds (6/4/03)

  • Study Finds Europeans Distrustful of U.S. Global Leadership (9/4/03)

  • Despite Polls, Pataki Backs Bush on Iraq All the Way (10/3/03)

  • Poll Finds Hostility Hardening Toward U.S. Policies (3/17/04)

  • Support for War Is Down Sharply, Poll Concludes (4/29/04)

  • Rising Casualties, One Falling Poll (5/2/04)

  • Polls Show Bush's Job-Approval Ratings Sinking (5/14/04)

  • Bush's Rating Falls to Its Lowest Point, New Survey Finds (6/29/04)

And then despite the fact that every single man, woman and child in America opposed the war in Iraq and despised George Bush a few months later, Bush won re-election against well-respected war hero John Kerry.

Immediately after the election, public opinion polls showed Americans turning once again against the war and against George Bush, according to the Times:

  • Americans Show Clear Concerns on Bush Agenda (11/23/04)

  • Public Voicing Doubts on Iraq and the Economy, Poll Finds (1/20/05)

  • Bad Iraq War News Worries Some in GOP on '06 Vote (8/18/05)

  • Support for Bush Continues to Drop as More Question His Leadership Skills, Poll Shows (9/15/05)

  • Iraq's Costs Worry Americans, Poll Indicates (9/17/05)

  • Most Americans Find Cindy Sheehan Attractive, Interesting (2/8/06). OK, I made that one up. The rest were made up by the Times.

This is why Ann Coulter makes the big bucks. [Poll: Most Americans Love Coulter Columns!]

I'll take a back rub and a pizza with everything instead. BTW, when do you leave for your Odyssey?

I read that piece earlier and she nailed it.

Did you hear the response W got yesterday? It was wonderful. I don't watch evening news but did this get reported?

How can the events in Iraq be so poorly reported and manipulated? Compare the recent news to the tone and tenor of reporting during WW II (OK, so I wasn't there, but I get the History Channel and I can read back issues of Life...). To hear the NY Times tell it, the ssky is falling and it's all MY fault.

WWII - European Theater - is the only war in history to gain Liberal's approval. Why? They saw it as a war to save Soviet Communism. That's why it's celebrated yet.

My Odyssey will start next Wednesday and while I am there my comments will radiate energy.

It's pretty easy for the NYT to come up with this stuff. They just poll their readers whom they have already told what to think and say. So their polls are really just comprehension tests for their readers.
