This is the same newspaper who has a long history of leaking classified information to the public arena.

Revkin is dripping with hypocristy.

Besides that,there is evidence that the files were never hacked in the first place.

Yep, Sev, it’s the old “Nothing to see here, folks, so just move along.”

Wonder if they have thought about this tack? Wonder what’ll happen when newsprint can’t ignore it any more and have to play catch up? You know, the “Me, too! Me, too!” method of reporting.

Yep, you cannot expect anything less from the NYT. Did they print any of Palin’s hacked emails?? I have to wonder. I can’t hardly get thru the 1st paragraph of most Times stories so I don’t tend to read their daily trash. It would not bother me one bit if these guys went out of business. – Lorica

So what they’re saying, basically, is that their professional ethics end when there are lives at stake, but expand galaxies-wide when it is intemperate to publish what nay-sayers have to say or what those within the NYT’s accepted list of useful causes let slip they are nothing but pseudo-scientists, liars and charlatans?
