"No Respect" from Godfather?; Daily Kos political encyclopedia (Kossary)

[Sam Clements]

Barry,

This is the NY Times.

You act surprised.

Feh!  It could be the Times or any other newspaper in America.

The reporters just don't care enough, or aren't paid enough to ferret out
the truth.

It's a cut-and-paste society.  Only, they research once, and post once.

It should be "research twice, post once."  But it ain't.
