Why I Don't Read 'The New York Times'

Because they're a bunch of morons! Check out this Rocky Mountain News article.

Thursday's New York Times misidentified GOP Senate candidate Pete Coors as a Ku Klux Klan member who murdered a black sharecropper.

The Coors campaign found the error "so outrageous it's kind of funny," said spokeswoman Cinamon Watson.

All were asking for is a little EDITORIAL SUPERVISION! Is that too much to ask? This is the reason why people no longer read papers. At least they got the story right...we hope.

The Times story concerned a federal court decision upholding Louisiana resident Ernest Avants' 2003 conviction in the slaying.

The story indicated the accompanying photo was of Avants. But the picture actually was of Coors on the day the Golden beer baron announced he was running in Colorado's open Senate race.

Coors' picture ran on page 21 of the A section in the Times' national briefs package.

You think he'll get an apology for being smeared as a murdering Ku Klux Klan memeber? I doubt it. At least Coors has a sense of humor....

"It could have been worse," she joked. "Pete could have been identified as John Kerry."

Nobody thought twice about it because to them a Republican being a member of the KKK made so much sense... it fit their worldview.

But mention Byrd, and the smiles disappear.
