Kristol: The New York Times ‘Should Be Prosecuted,’
‘It Isn’t A First-Rate Newspaper’ For years, Bill Kristol has been at the forefront of a vitriolic right-wing crusade against the New York Times. Sadly, the Times has chosen to reward him for it.
After the New York Times in 2006 disclosed a secret Bush administration program to monitor international banking transactions, right-wing pundit Bill Kristol said this:
"I think it is an open question whether the Times itself should be prosecuted for this totally gratuitous revealing of an ongoing secret classified program that is part of the war on terror." [Fox News, 7/2/06]
"I think the Justice Department has an obligation to consider prosecution." [Fox News, 6/25/06]
Beyond calling for the criminal prosecution of his future employer, Kristol has also pilloried the newspaper as the voice of the radical fringe in America:
"It’s no accident that The New York Times has to have a special reporter assigned to the conservative beat. They cover it sort of like a foreign country, to explain to the editors and the readers of The New York Times what’s going on in that strange world of conservative America, which is two-fifths of the country." [Fox News, 5/30/04]
"I’m not sure, if you’re against a war in Iraq, that you want The New York Times carrying your cause," Mr. Kristol said. "Because it’s like, ‘Oh, great! The Upper West Side doesn’t want a war!’" [NY Observer, 9/15/02]
"Colin Powell is not a New York Times liberal, you know. Colin Powell is for a strong, assertive American foreign policy." [Fox News, 7/28/02]
In one of Kristol’s most candid assessments about the New York Times, he wrote this in a 2003 Weekly Standard piece:
Still, the simple truth is that a great democracy like ours deserves a first-rate newspaper of record. And the New York Times isn’t it. […]
Fundamental regime change at the New York Times is not in the cards. Inspections and sanctions won’t work. Even the French can’t help. The Times is irredeemable. The question is whether a new newspaper of record will replace it.
Kristol seems to understate his abilities to bring about regime changes.

Well seems like all is forgiven by the New Times as you can see here
Bill Kristol To Become New York Times Columnist In 2008
December 28, 2007 06:37 PM

The Huffington Post has learned that, in a move bound to create controversy, the New York Times is set to announce that Bill Kristol will become a weekly columnist in 2008. Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative who recently departed Time magazine in what was reported as a "mutual" decision, has close ties to the White House and is a well-known proponent of the war in Iraq. Kristol also is a regular contributor to Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume

Please write the Times and let them know your feelings about Kristol on their paper.

He is Mr. Arch Neo-Conservative pushing the invasion of Iraq and wants now to bomb Iran. He is against every Democratic intiative and wants among thigns to abolish the Social Securiety entitlements and Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and removing tax savings for the rich and the rich corporations.
We really have too many consevative voices in the Media as it is. To quote conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks," the media is so conservative that liberals can't get their message out" So what does the Times do give another super conservative a voice to America in it's pages.
