Not too many years ago, you could quote from the NYT and not come off looking like a complete fool.    Propaganda editorials under the guise of "news" was a trait of lesser papers like the LA Times.   NYT was an oasis of straight-forward reporting sans BS.  
The number of spam and hit pieces in the political section these past few months has been troubling.  Forget ethics.  The end now justifies the means 

Adam Nagourney's front page article today is a troubling reminder on how far this progressive paper has sunk.
Yesterday, Clinton won another in a string of victories. SD was especially profound because it showed that Obama, once the glorious golden boy, is quickly losing favor with voters.
In an effort to overshadow and undercut this key Clinton victory, the DNC pressured delegates to rush out their decisions 
Right wing controlled cable news like CNN, also did its best to hurt Clinton at the polls by announcing early that she had "conceded."  They then corrected this, but continued their efforts to dissuade voters by saying that she wanted to be Obama's VP. 
Here is a section from NYT "reporter" Nagourney's clueless, and offensive front page piece.
"Like her husband, Mrs. Clinton has a way of becoming the center of attention even when the spotlight is supposed to be trained elsewhere . . ." 
Interesting comment on a candidate who won all of our key democratic states, and has the popular vote. 
After the hijacking of DNC, an intimidation job on super delegates and a hatchet job on Florida and Michigan, the NYT is celebrating.
