Dear Friends,
The New York Times has forfeited its position as Paper of Record. It qualifies as something near the National Inquirer.
Ray McGovern, a former CIA and daily briefer for three American Presidents, is steaming at the rumors now being circulated as truth in The New York Times.
Read and wonder … have we totally lost our national integrity?
Please forward to your family and friends.

Catapulting Russian-Meddling Propaganda
The New York Times is leading the full-court press to improve on what it regards as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s weak-kneed effort to blame the Russians for giving us Donald Trump.
August 21, 2020
By Ray McGovern
The fresh orgy of anti-Russian invective in the lickspittle media (LSM) has the feel of fin de siècle. The last four reality-impaired years do seem as though they add up to a century. And no definitive fin is in sight, as long as most people don’t know what’s going on.
The LSM should be confronted: “At long last have you left no sense of decency?” But who would hear the question — much less any answer? The corporate media have a lock on what Americans are permitted or not permitted to hear. Checking the truth, once routine in journalism, is a thing of the past.
Thus the reckless abandon with which The New York Times is leading the current full-court press to improve on what it regards as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s weak-kneed effort to blame the Russians for giving us Donald Trump. The press is on, and there are no referees to call the fouls.
