Jeff Gerth and New York Times - lynch-mob reporting that created scandals out of thin air....

<< By now, the Times’ imprimatur awes nobody. Besides, Gerth doesn’t work there anymore. He’s rivaled only by Judith Miller (of Iraqi WMD fame ) for concocting impenetrable conspiracies from the whispers of anonymous sources. Absent Gerth’s infamous Mixmaster prose, there would have been no six-year Whitewater investigation and no bogus Chinese spy crisis during Bill Clinton’s second term. Nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee needn’t have done 278 days in solitary for imaginary crimes. >>

Gene Lyons wrote the book - literally - on the New York Times' penchant for writing LYNCH MOB LIES during the entire 8 years of the Clinton administration - journalistic lies that effectively neutered, or VETOED, two elections the put Bill Clinton in the White House. Lyons' "The Hunting of the President," co-written with NY Daily News reporter Joe Conason, is an encyclopedic compilation of lies, innuendos, and "mixmaster prose" that Arthur Sulzberger and his editors at the Times (Abe Rosenthal, William Safire especially) used to AMP UP any allegation or criticism of the Clintons into front page, above-fold, screaming headlines.
