The Mudville Gazette cites several specific instances where the New York Times has deliberately Dowdified quotes to twist their meaning. In one glaring example, a Marine Corporal was posthumously turned from a hero into sounding like a coward. He wrote a farewell letter to be released should he be killed in Iraq. The Times cut it down so much he comes off sounding like a scared draftee.
Make sure you check your bloodpressure before you read the rest.

They should be held criminaly responsible for pulling shit like that.
Posted by: Derek at November 4, 2005 3:18 PMThis is the same newspaper that whitewashed Stalin's crimes of the 30s, downplayed the Holocaust in the 40s, and helped cover up Kennedy's murder in the 60s. Jayson Blair, Judy Miller, on and on it goes. I never, ever, never read that rag.
