ARTHUR SULZBERGER's NEW YORK TIMES _BURIES_ the story of Senators Dodd's courageous FILIBUSTER FIGHT PRESERVE all AMERICAN's FREEDOM FROM unlimited GOVERNMENT SPYING to page A-29.
Mr. Sulzberberger and his NEW YORK TIMES are GROUND ZERO for the SCALIA/BUSH/CHENEY COUP that has all but turned American democracy into a police-state plutocracy: from STOLEN VOTES and STOLEN ELECTIONS, to the "MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT" and "Thought Crimes Bill," to the FISA "reform" UNLIMITED, NO OVERSIGHT of GOVERNMENT SPYING ON AMERICANS" bill...
SULZBERGER and his AIPAC NEO-CONS are in FULL ACCORD with the very Gestapo-esque "ENABLING" laws that allowed the Nazi regime in Germany to declare anyone they wanted to be "enemies of the state" (and, need we say it, march those "enemies" off to eternal oblivion).
Thanks to MediaBloodhound for catching the
NAZI NEW YORK SLIMES up to its dirty old GOEBBELS PROPAGANDA TRICKS again:
burying REAL NEWS on page A-29, while putting feel-good, "Aren't the Furher and the Fatherland GREAT?!" stories on the front pages, where busy, stressed out readers are more likely to read them.
MediaBloodhound catches other cases of ARTHUR SULZBERGER as AMERICA's GOEBBELS, including this one of Sulzberger's Whore Times BURYING the "nightmare military courts" story here;

JUST LIKE Joseph Goebbels, ARTHUR SULZBERGER is (at least now that Karl Rove is out of the headlines) the HEAD PIMP for the INSANE NEO-CON WAR LUST, the PROPAGANDA NARRATIVE that Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney's wars of GROSS INCOMPETENCE and GROSS, in-your-face CORRUPTION are "MAKING AMERICA SAFER" - even as the insane neo-cons, including the NY Times, have ben GUTTING world NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATIES for two decades. (Ever since, indeed, St. Ronnie Reagan signed such non-proliferation treaties with Michale Gorbachov.)

NY Times Buries Dodd's Filibuster Threat Victory
Dec. 18, 2007

It's nothing new for our country's Paper of Record to stick a crucial story in its back pages (often while providing front-page real estate to a particularly banal article).
But one of the most egregious examples of such editorial decisions is today's move by The New York Times to bury news of presidential candidate Senator Christopher Dodd's victorious filibuster threat against the proposed telecom immunity bill.
So what page did The Times slip in this account of Dodd's courageous and historic stand? What page did it cover this patriotic push-back to a bill that, if passed, would effectively reward telecom companies for complicity in the Bush administration's illegal wiretapping of millions of innocent American citizens and set a frightening precedent of similar retroactive immunity in such cases where various parties (CIA, Blackwater mercenaries, etc.) took part in torture, extraordinary renditions or other criminal activities in George Bush's "war on terror"? What page did the paper that sat on the illegal wiretapping story for a year - before "scooping" it - deem this fit to print?
A29. Yes, A29.
(The online version has no page numbers, but this news is buried there as well; no mention of it even makes the home page - where over 90 stories currently reside.)
Now ask yourself how? Who at The Times authorized this inane editorial decision? And what excuse can possibly explain it away?
Senator Dodd's threat to filibuster yesterday and his triumph in having the patently unconstitutional bill withdrawn from a vote last night is precisely the kind of story that should be big news in a democracy, especially one such as ours, which has been gasping under the boot of an overtly criminal White House for seven long years.
What's the sound of one U.S. senator taking a successful stand against a rogue White House administration and its spineless collaborators in Congress?
If you're The Times, it's something akin to a whisper.
