I continue to ask the queston - why can't I, a regular everyday person, ask the NYT editorial staff why they do this and get a real answer? Is the paper itself the answer? That what they present as more and less important is what the staff truly believe are the order in which they should be considered? So the years of incessantly going after Clinton was because as a staff, they were convinced that Clinton was as bad as her detractors said and needed to convince the world this was true?

This is my greatest frustration. That there are people in positions of power who wall themselves off from us lesser people and don't even bother allowing any of us close enough to ask a question let alone to receive an answer.

It is a bad situation We can no longer count on checks and balances, the courts, majority rule, and simple decency from the Republican party. Just about all we have to protect us is the free press. Eric's work on press behavior is so important because the press does not seem to appreciate its crucial role. The NYT for example, is turning into a rag. I am a pretty stoic guy, but I'll tell you, I am afraid.
