The New York Times “[d]isclosing classified programs that help protect

us against terrorism is just dandy. But publishing cartoons that would

be ‘perceived as a particularly deliberate insult’ by Muslims is beyond

the pale. Coddling tender sensitivities is more important [to the Times]

than protecting national security.”

Michael Barone quoted by Jed Babbin.

Babbin adds: “The Times’s net worth as a newspaper and a brand name –

its credibility, its financial value – is plummeting. The NYT Company’s

stock, traded on Wednesday at $24.37, has fallen 55% in value from its

2002 high of $53.80. The Times’s credibility has also plummeted

everywhere except those places where people suffer from Bush Derangement

Syndrome.”
