No.

But those jerks at the NYT, NBC and the majors, have been lying on stories for years. Jason Blair was only fired because he was black, not because he lied about sources.

Let’s see, two examples leap to mind as to why I can’t wait to see the Times fold:

* Them running with the governments side of the X-Caliber Firearms story they ran in their crappy weekly magazine a few months ago

* Lying and saying Kevin Mitnick could single handedly take down the US’s electronic infrastructure. No one ever called them to task on this.

I’m not conservative at all, far from it. But I relish to see (might as well lump Fox News in there too) the big ones crumble and everyone from their traditional media staff (see: non-IT/Web guys) starve.

And don’t even get me started on the AP and how they’re a parasitic cartel with respect to use of images (see: them suing the guy who made the “Hope” design)
