7 years ago, we dropped the LA Times for the NY Times.  We did this because the level of journalism in the NYT was far superior.  The LAT would  post biased editorial commentary on their front page and pass it as a news piece.  The paper had no problem pawning propaganda in their stories. (and their journalists wrote excessively like wanna-be creative writers).  
What we loved most was seeing a story mangled on cable TV, retold truthfully, and in-depth. 
Over the last few months, the NYT has turned its back on journalistic standards. Today we finally realized our newspaper is history. 
They now get their poltical stories DIRECT from dumbed down cable shows.  This paper PARROTS stories from the dumbest political chatter blogs,  themselves tainted from spin put out by paid Obama operatives! 
For the NYT to even insult their readers with this Robert Kennedy garbage is amazing - but to PUT THIS ON THEIR FRONT PAGE!!  
It's coming down to this:
Clinton:  I'm staying in this race! 
NYT:  CLINTON SAID RACE!!!  CLINTON IS A RACIST !!!!!
I think all of us would welcome a new progressive paper.  The NYT is proving itself too old, corrupt, and steeped in dishonesty.
