I'm in the basement blogging while the KIDS are upstairs playing D&D.

Their assets should be purchased by Pravda @ 10 cents on a dollar.

After McCain gets to the White House, he should confiscate these newspapers (Just like we seize the assets of other criminals) and turn all these rags into toilet paper factories.

What a morale booster for the troops. :<) 

Wait, should bloggers be insulted by this stereotype? Including NB?

:-) 

The interesting thing is that McCain is using humor and ridicule instead of righteous outrage. This is a page right from the Art of War: know your terrain and use every weapon to your advantage. In the media terrain, humor is an effective weapon. By using humor, McCain emphasizes his opponent's weakness and neutralizes attacks against him.

• Obama is striving to be taken seriously, and therefore the counter-attack is to laugh at him.
• At the same time, he's neutralizing the image being portrayed against him. McCain is branded as an angry old man, and the counter-attack also happens to be to show humor.

He can get away with it because no one can accuse McCain of being frivolous, and he's always shown a sense of humor. True, if humor is his only weapon, he'll fail. McCain has to complement the humor with serious policy attacks. We're hoping another shoe will fall. But some of the people he can't attract through "charisma," he might attract through humor.

The weakness of true believers is that they take themselves too seriously. If you can puncture that narrowness, it dissolves the intensity. The polls already show that the passion for Obama is diminishing, fairly rapidly. I think McCain's use of humor can be an effective weapon.

Blasting the NYT is a smart move by the McCain team.

(BTW, this is a test comment -- I just got approved to leave comments here.)

way to go goldfarb, I have had it with the so called grey lady, has no ethics, no integrity, they don't care anymore if everyone in the US know they work for egobama, no wonder they are gradually losing readers, and stocks are going down, people are sick of their blatant bias, what they did to MCCAIN was disgusting and this after they endorsed him and from a man that use to work for clinton, they are going downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I bet McAMNESTY thought all along, the media was his friend. Shows what hubris does to your thinking.

I don't know why you guys at Newsbusters don't want to sign onto a campaign to end the print edition of the New York Times on environmental grounds. The Sunday Edition alone costs 70,000 trees.

Left wing orgainizations are targeting 'water bottles' as an evil. They get willing apparatchiks in the media to highlight the dangers of water bottles. Why not hit the Times with some of their own left wing nonsense. End the Print Edition, save the Trees.

The Times business practices should match its lofty editorial policy.
