NYTime - All the news fit to be hysterical with.
by December 30, 2004 1:29 PM PST: Yet another hysterical doom and gloom idiocy from New York Times. The internet never CUT into my TV or social life. It's integrated with my TVs in split screen. And I have friends and is married. Typical hysteria from NYT.

NYT has been printing all the news fit to lie since they claimed the Spaniards blew up an American warship in Puerto Rico (causing us to go to war and annex Puerto Rico). To the latest fraudulent reporter that has to be let go last year for fake 9/11 stories. Typical NYT.; Reply to this comment
