NY Times Editor: Anti-Petraeus Ad Was An Inside Job

The New York Times, accused of political bias for running - at a steep price discount of $102,000 - an anti-war ad insulting the top U.S. commander in Iraq, defended itself by claiming they were only giving back to the community. "When our circulation is falling and our stock is in the toilet, the last thing we need is to be blacklisted as patriots, supporters of the war against terrorists, Bush's puppets, or proponents of capitalism and free markets," a Times editor told us on condition of anonymity, explaining that 'giving back to the community' in the progressive vernacular means a kickback to an activist group for keeping someone off the black list of thoughtcriminals engaging in corporate conspiracy. "This ad will give us a few month of trouble-free operation without anyone accusing us of being corporate lapdogs," he said. Full transcript of a private conversation with an anonymous NY TImes editor below:

~
THE PEOPLE'S CUBE: What would they do to you if you didn't run the ad or give the discount?

ANONYMOUS NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR: I'd rather not think about it. Just look at the hateful attacks against Fox News and Rupert Murdoch. This wouldn't be happening if Murdoch wasn't so pigheaded and "gave back to the community" more often. The few thousands he gave to Hillary, Schumer, and other Democrats are a joke - he can't be that naïve. If he really wants the vitriol to stop, he should be more like George Soros, a billionaire who shovels cash at the progressives on a daily basis, like a coal heaver on the locomotive of revolution. That's why not even the communists at the International ANSWER Coalition ever accuse Soros of being a shameless capitalist pig disrupting the world's economies. Which, frankly speaking, he is.

You don't fool around with the progressive protection racket. Just recently Murdoch had brazenly refused to comply with MoveOn's reasonable request to place their member on the board of News Corp. Shortly afterwards, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann released a statement that "Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda."

Olbermann's exact quote:

"Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda - worse for our society. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was."

Surely this attack could be easily avoided. There are many ways a corporation can appease the Bag Man. They can donate cash to progressive charities and campaigns, or they can give food, free space, advertisement, product placement, or product itself. We at the New York Times usually "give back" our product - news, opinions, and commentary that validate progressive beliefs. This time it happened to be a $102,000 ad discount.

We also hire progressive reporters, columnists, and editors. This has been going on for so long that now it's often impossible to distinguish the New York Times, a news company that must turn profit, from an activist non-profit group that's in the business of propaganda and re-education of the masses.

THE PEOPLE'S CUBE: Would you say there's been a takeover of the MSM by progressive activists?

ANONYMOUS NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR: Yes, but it's a friendly takeover that leads to a win-win situation. The main purpose in life for a forward-looking progressive journalist is to expose diabolical corporate conspiracies. Once you've convinced your readers that such conspiracies exist, you've initiated them into the biggest conspiracy theory of all time - the Marxist concept of class struggle. Now you're just one small step away from exposing the immorality at the core of the capitalist system and presenting Socialism as the only moral alternative. As an added bonus, corporations will pay top dollar to get off your hit list. Before you know it you yourself turn into a full-fledged member of the powerful progressive racket and can make your own demands. Look at today's mainstream media. And if that doesn't convince you, ask General Petraeus.

THE PEOPLE'S CUBE: Are you saying that The New York Times, as a member of the powerful progressive racket, has hatched an extortion scheme to coerce itself into giving a $102,000 discount to MoveOn's ad that described general Petraeus as a traitor?

ANONYMOUS NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR: I am absolutely convinced that it was an inside job. Progressive groups have become so intertwined that many of us don't even remember who we really work for. Many of us are members of MoveOn and other groups, while many of their members act as our freelance reporters. Money is traveling in continuous Moebius rings, loops, and circles, so giving a discount to one group is not necessarily a loss for another.

Even if that discount were a loss, we have already invested so much in America's defeat that a slightest sign of victory will cost us much more than the $102,000. So here's an open secret: MoveOn didn't pay for the ad at all, they only paid us to run it under their name. And if they didn't, we'd still run it as a regular New York Times editorial.

 

The key statement in this post is when the NYT editor said, "Progressive groups have become so intertwined that many of us don't even remember who we really work for." This is excellent news, comrades. When the Revolution is finally here, you don't have to know who you work for--you simply work for the Greater Good, for the toiling masses. The proletariat rises up as one. There can be no concept of working "for" a particular person or organization. We each do our share for humanity, and happily take what is given to us for sustenance.
 

<sobbing> I don't even know who I work for!? Just last week I mailed a check to The Center for American Progress only to find it in my mailbox the following day! Am I my own boss? Am I paying myself with money that I thought I was paying other people to do my work!? Am I doing work!!?!? Do I even really have my own staff??? Oh sweet merciful Stalin! I am so confused right now and think I'm about to pass out again!

My Empress, I shall not even bother to ask what work you have for me today, for I know who I work for, and why I am blessed to work for you. I regret my occasional lapse into sleep, but I can assure you that even then I dream of ways to move the Party forward.

May I once again congratulate you on the wonderful news?

"With a price tag of about $110 billion per year, Clinton's "American Health Choices Plan" represents her first major effort to achieve universal health coverage since 1994, when the plan she authored during her husband's first term collapsed."

It is pathetic I agree that the Murdoch capitalist lap dog chose this wonderful news to slander you by suggesting that an earlier plan of yours was a failure! Even more pathetic the notion that a mere $110 billion will be the real cost to the capitalists!

Oh My Lenin! Have you any idea what you just said?

What part of Hillary's post:

did you not understand?

Great Stalin's Ghost! If or when Hillary sees this, or just as likely someone reports this (Pup busily sending message to Security for the People™), there is going to be "Hill" to pay!

<bawling and frantically collecting busted Hummel pieces> HILLARY IS BOSS! BWAAHAHAAH! HILLARY IS BOSS! Oh my Darwin, I glued myself to the floor! I GLUED MYSELF TO FLOOR! <flares arms while bawling> I CAN'T MOVE!!! I CAN'T MOVE!!! OH SWEET, SWEET STALIN HELP ME! I'M STUCK TO FLOOR AND THIS TIME IT ISN'T KINKY!!! BWWWWWWAAAAAAHHAAAAAAHAAAAAAA!
 

Hmmmm... Forgetting Hillary is the boss-goddess of all.

I see a 'suicide' with a defaced handgun in your future.

As for the NYTs, just WHY are these fools letting the cat out of the bag on this?  They are supposed to be good progressives and keep their foul, lying traps SHUT until AFTER HRC 's coronation!!  WHY is this so difficult for them?  Does their dwindling profits make them that obtuse and open?  Do they not understand that after HRC is made boss-goddess of the West that the NYTs will be fully subsidized by her as "The People's Newspaper, East Coast edition"?

The fact they are revealing that this "PPR" (Progressive Protection Racket) so freely (even to a member of the Cube) proves they are disloyal to HRC and a danger to her.  They better start doing a whole lot more "giving back to (HRCs) Community" NOW.  It takes a Village you know and Hillary's "Village" is short on cash thanks to screw-ups like Hsu.  The NYTs can make up $100k of that real fast......

Or bananas may not be the only thing "Fostered".....
 

Shouldn't that be "It Takes a Collective to Raise a Child™?"

Chairman, are you alright? I know you have been going through a "rough patch" lately, though not your fault of course, Hill happens you know? Hmmmm, I think that could be a great bumper sticker or shirt.
 

What's she doing with her hand?  Is she displaying the size of Bill's equipment?
 

Or it could be your chance of keeping your freedom?
 

Or maybe she's squishing our heads.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=uVyHgK5QV7s
 

She'll be squishing or heads from the White House soon. Never mess with a pro, buddy.
 

I think Her Excellency would look more...uhhh...ummm... terrifying - yes, terrifying - without the helmet. The helmet doesn't really bring the demonic forces in her eyes out well enough. Where did you find such a lovely picture of Her Excellency, Commissar Pupovich?
 

Where are her boobs? Did the Hildo shake them off?

She's measuring how much time we have left until she goes nuclear, pardon, as Our Once Esteemed Once Leader Jimmah the Goober-Grabber Carter said, nooklar and snatches us bald-headed like the love child of Miss Piggy and Rambo.
 

Chairman M. S. Punchenko

Where did you find such a lovely picture of Her Excellency, Commissar Pupovich?

Ah, I just googled her.... funny thing, if you google hillary, you sure get a lot of naked pictures. But if comes from a place that made a lot of good points.

I believe the proper quote that goes with the above photo of our glorious leader is:

"I find your lack of faith disturbing, Comrade Chairman..."

Accompanied by a soft crackling, popping sound of a human trachea collapsing under the power of the Dark Side.

I don't really understand the fuss.  MoveOn.org recently announced that they owned the Democratic Party, and the Times has always been owned by the Party.  Comrade Moneybags Soros is simply cutting out the middleman.
 

You score again, Ivan Betinov! I wonder what you might think up if your brain weren't in a jar. The good thing is, it now thinks for the Party.


 

On the other hand, Hillary may have indeed been squishing Republican heads in the audience. As the training video above shows, one must be prepared to battle hostile head-squishers and face-pinchers. This is how Hillary does it:



Notice the strain in her face as she breaks a few enemy thumbs in the process. At that moment, screams of pain erupted from the audience, with several Republicans  jumping from their seats and rushing to the emergency room with finger injuries.
 

Another caption:  

"What?  You went over my helmet?"

or "I see your swartze is as big as mine.  Now, let's see how well you 'handle' it."
 

Well I still like Hill Happens.... it has so many meanings.
 

This was too good to not pass on!


 

Still in love with Heil Hillary
 

That was great, Commissar Pup.

Hey, I dig the hat, bro!
 

All praise for the hat is due the Dear Leader who bestows all gifts upon us.
 

Oh, my Empress (notice my good use of the vocative) is this the new command for the party?

I wanted to check and make sure b/c ComPup has been talking alot lately about sleeping and dreaming and I thought perhaps I was missing some directive or something.  I don't want to be taken out and glued!  My excuse is that I missed the memo, so if it is a new directive for the party I will immediately begin dreaming.  In fact here i go (sound of head hitting keyboard) asddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd,m;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
 

I want you to know comrade that even in the deepest sleep. the Pup's dreams are of ways to progress progressiveism!
 

Pup, I too dream of progressing progressivism. Before I go to sleep I watch documentaries on Bergen Belsen.
 

If only they would come up with a more positive movie about the Gulag Archapelago.... Perhaps something like a comedy.... Pupovich's Archipelago. You can play the professor, Meow the Skipper, SMO as Mary Ann, not sure who we would put as Ginger, Hillary would of course by Mrs Thurston Howell, and the Dear Leader her hubby.
 

Ooo!  Ooo!  Can I make a guest appearance as the confused, evil-but-bumbling Japanese imperialist-capitalist soldier who thinks the Great Patriotic War is still going on?
 

That or perhaps a cannibal?
 

Oooo, what was I thinking? Nancy is Ginger!

.... a six year sentence.... or so they thought!
 

Ginger did not pack enough wrinkle cream in her makeup kit.

Ivan, of course you can be the Japanese who thinks the great war was going on. And after all, since we're all commies here with eyes moist for the Soviet Union before that whoreson Reagan destroyed it, we are in much the same position.
 

Chairman M. S. Punchenko

<sobbing> I don't even know who I work for!? Just last week I mailed a check to The Center for American Progress only to find it in my mailbox the following day! Am I my own boss? Am I paying myself with money that I thought I was paying other people to do my work!? Am I doing work!!?!? Do I even really have my own staff??? Oh sweet merciful Stalin! I am so confused right now and think I'm about to pass out again!

Work!? We don't work. Work is a KKKapitalist tool to oppress The Masses­®. No lazy proletariat is any less equal than a man who actually goes out and works for a living. In fact, the lazy man is better just like the transvestite communist whore is no better or worse than Mother Teresa. Therefore, in order to attain equality all must earn 80K a year regardless whether they lift a finger or not.
 

Comrade Hasan, do you not think that the person who does not lift a finger and who gets the same money is not actually superior to the man who does work? That is success, after all. But it follows that the people who let the man who does nothing be superior to the man who does something are superior to both of them.

And guess who those people are? We are. I'm squirming in my seat with pleasure, like Katie Couric interviewing Bill Clinton. I'm so glad that her chair wasn't plastic. The noise, the noise.

Good job, everyone. I have Updated the People's Glossary as noted:

http://www.thepeoplescube.com/red/viewtopic.php?t=42

- Updated The People entry
- Updated Non-People entry
- Added Dead-Americans entry (Necro-Proxies)

Also added a NOTE just below the list:

NOTE:

For example, by adding ™ to The People* we were able to liberate and revise its meaning to include animals, vegetables, household appliances, Necro-proxies, and other Democrat-voting entities historically disenfranchised by the speciist and necrophobic capitalist oppressors.

This prompted me to think of a something new. Please go here:
http://www.thepeoplescube.com/red/viewt ... 9726#19726
 

It occurs to me that we have been unduly generous in extending the full franchise to appliances, although it was an effort to include Meow's beloved toaster Helen, who, Pup, if you are not familiar with the story, became a pop tart and ran away. Meow had campaigned for appliance-Americans, and who can say that he's wrong?

But think of the efficiency if we need pander to the the only Appliance Americans who happen to be Voting Machines. Just as we need pander only to those in the Dependent Class, which we want to grow, of course, who are capable of breeding. So I think that we should eliminate all males beyond those needed for breeding, and for a few favors for a few exalted Commissars, but I assure you that this particular Commissar is not that greedy, but we should make all efforts to increase the fecundity of the female breeding stock.

And once they rear their charges, using modern Progressive techniques, to be able to vote, that is if we have not managed to make the Party Approved Voting Machines dominant, we no longer need the fecund women.
 

Commissar Theocritus

So I think that we should eliminate all males beyond those needed for breeding

*Looking around nervously*

Er... we are talking about non-Party males right? Not that the Pup bears any resemblance to those beyond efficient breeding abilities.
 

 

LOL! The only problem with that cartoon is that lets face it, can you really see Move On as a tough old man? I see a bunch of drugged out tree loving wannabe hippies of questionable tastes.
 

This might correct your thought trajectory, Commissar.

George Soros: The Man, The Mind And The Money Behind MoveOn
 

Oh Red! What was I thinking? Obviously I was suffering from a nonalcoholic hangover to have forgotten Soros.  Of course, Move On got it's start from the Hillary. It's just I can't but keep these young kids out of mind. Just last night I go to the movies, and it was like going back 30 years with all the Peace and Love shirts I saw the teen minds full of mush wearing. While waiting, I heard one of them talking on a phone and she must have said "I am so there" 4 times in about 20 seconds. When she got off I couldn't but help but ask her "Are you there yet?"

BTW, speaking of hangovers.... Do you suppose Commissar Theocritus is ok this morning? I took the liberty of inviting Sen Murtha (he hasn't been declared a non-person yet has he?) down to the Commissar's house yesterday. He seemed so down after being harassed and besmirched by this warmonger since the charges against the Hadita Marines are falling faster than a Kennedy Taxi off a bridge, I figured he needed some "quality" time with Nancy. I also thought the Chairman would be pleased as well. You know how he looks after Commissar Theocrtius and Nancy.


 

I see Soros as Howard Zinn with money. There was never a more creative--and variable--group of people than Jews. From Soros and Zinn to the utter opposite of Rand and our dear SMO.

How fortunate for us that the libertarians are not by definition interested in the acquisition of absolute power and therefore entering the fray for absolute power is voyeuristic rather than an addictive compulsion for them.  No fire in the belly.
 

So how is Sen Murtha doing today Commissar Theocritus? I do hope you don't mind me inviting him over to your house. He just seemed so down and I figured a stay with you and Nancy would be just the ticket for them both.
 

I gutted him and threw him in the Rio Grande where wetbacks walk over him to get into America. His best and highest use. And since they do not get wet, they are not wetbacks.

See. He singlehandedly effected the Amnesty Bill, and I helped.
 

Quote:

wetbacks walk over him

Oh, are we "wetback" bashing now?
I'll have you know that these are People of the Damp Persuasion or Dry Spine Challenged.
Shame on you! I thought you were more thoughtful and caring than that Commissar.
Looks like more sensitivity training and self criticism for Theocritus.
 

Laika the Space Dog

...Looks like more sensitivity training and self criticism for Theocritus.

Is that the kind of "self criticism" that involves everyone gathering around with shovels and stones? I once saw a Kulak 'self criticize' himself off a bridge. It was very effective.

And another who 'got despondent' and shot himself five times in the back of the head.

We don't want to push poor Theocritus to the point of doing something rash.

-Mikhail (AKA: AK)
 

Commissar Theocritus deserves a very long self criticism session for not only disparaging our People of the Damp Persuasion, but for also treating a dear friend of his guest Nancy so poorly. Who am I kidding? To say he deserves such a session would imply that he had earned this which would suggest competition. No, he should do so just to satisfy a sheer randomness of consequences for the Good of the Party.
 

Self-criticism hell. Our Many Titted Empress is down here and is so pleased with me that she didn't ride Bruno around like a pony and didn't steal the Lalique. Now that's power with Our Empress, folks; that's power.

So I snap my fingers at this bullshit about self-criticism. I think that Laura Bush is hot, for a woman, that is. And I don't intend to do any of that goddamned self-criticism. It's up to me to decide who does the criticism, get it? Our Many Titted Empress told me so.

And furthermore, if I hear any more disparaging remarks about this excellent Rancho here, I'll get really really pissed. I know that it has all that rainbow stuff all over it, but I like it and I won't have it any other way. And it draws attention from the termite damage. And it goes nicely with the crown jewels that Tony Blair gave me. So that's fine.

In addition,.....sound of crash.

Hillary, why...what an honor...I thought I heard your jet take off...oh...it did but you weren't on it...I see...Bruno, that's why it took off so fast,..

Hillary, what may I do for you? Would you like, er, is there something wrong, Empress? Uh, why are you looking at me like that? Didn't I...Hillary!  Empress!

Bruno! Run! Run for your life! She's got the Hildo Hydra 7.9 on a Hummer and she's got blood in her eye! Run!
 

Run fast, run long Commissar! She's right behind you.... Oh, and is that Sen Murtha with her?
 

Don't worry, Pupovich. Do you know how hard it is for her trotters to make it over mesquite roots shod in army boots?
