God Damn The New York Times On Barack Obama And Jeremiah Wright
THE New York Times is All The News That’s Fit To Print. So it says.
Byron York looks at the NYT and tries to spot any mention of Barack Obama’s spirutal guide Jeremiah Wright’s conspiracy issues:
Speaking of “God damn America,” if you read only the New York Times — if that were your only source of news — you might not even know that Wright had uttered those words. A Nexis search shows that the only place Rev. Wright’s “God damn America” proclamation has been reported in the Times was in Bill Kristol’s column yesterday. That column was noticed mostly for a factual error — Kristol repeated a claim from an inaccurate NewsMax report — but as serious as that was, it seems that Times readers should at least thank Bill for telling them what the news pages would not.
A conspiracy? Anyone told Mr Wright?

It seems that virtually no one who writes about Barack Obama’s relationship with Rev. Wright has read Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father.” On pages 291-5 of that book, Obama tells at length about a sermon by Rev. Wright that he attended and that brought him to tears (of joy). The sermon, as Obama enthusiastically describes it, was full of anti-white denunciations.
The book was published in 1995, but Obama wrote a Preface to the 2004 Edition in which he said he would write the book the same way he did in 1995. This tells us that, at least as of the time Obama was running for the U.S. Senate in 2004, he had not changed his thinking
