Which Side Are You On?

So here we sit on the eve of May Day 2012, and there is an eerie calm-before-the-storm kind of feeling. The mainstream media is still doing its best to pretend that nothing out of the ordinary is going on. The only May-Day related event reported in the NY Times today was that a lawsuit was [...]

Watch out, Grey Lady! We’re watching you….

Maybe I should just do the right thing and swear off reading The New York Times.  I’ve been reading The Times more or less every day since the time I could read–going on forty years now, give or take. Never have I felt less confident that I can rely on the editors there for solid, [...]

Protesters Against Wall Street – NYTimes.com.
