And whats is the author talking about with the 2004 voter turn out? It was the largest turn out ever.
Oh well what do expect from the grey old rag

reconmike......what do you expect of the NY Times....are they reliable reporters of world events, much of the time? Do they have the most comprehensive network of reporters covering events in the rest of the world?
Is there better coverage of the "TV voting" controversy that you can direct me to? Is there more accurate, more "in depth" coverage of domestic and world news, events, and politics, that you rely on, than the NY Times, and if there is, <b>can you direct me to it?</b> What news reporting "outfit" offered more accurate, in depth coverage of the domestic wiretapping, "end run" around the FISA court, for example, than the NY Times did?
What news reporting business did anything comparable to admitting that Judith Miller's pre and post Iraq invasion reporting on Saddam's WMD was misleading, and inaccurate, and then followed that up by firing such a long time veteran, award winning reporter, as Miller was?
What about the "balance" provided by the reliably "conservative leaning" tenor of NY Times editorials, steadfastly backing the decisions of president Bush until well after the Iraq invasion.....can you point to another news reporting business.....one you frequently get your news and information from....that editorializes in a direction opposite to the POV that you perceive in many of the NY Times news articles?
I admit that the NY Times disappoints me frequently, given the inaccuracies and the conservative bias that I garner from what I read in many of their news articles.....their editorials sometimes shock me when they tow a conservative or a corporatist line......so I am receptive.....show me where to go for more reliable and more comprehensive reporting, reconmike....share your news and information sources with me, please.....I am stuck with the Times, the WaPo, BBC, the LA Times, and the Chi-Trib....CBS, NBC, and CNN, because, even though they are all flawed....I can find none better at providing reliable, in depth coverage, more often than not....
