Hypocrisy And The NYT: Nothing New, Not Surprising, Business As Usual…
[guest post by Dana]
More brazen hypocrisy from the New York Times:
Funny how this pitiful New York Times fails to release that Obama had 15 outstanding parking tickets dating back to the 1980’s. King Obama didn’t pay off these 15 parking tickets until just before he launched his presidential campaign in 2007. Ironic isn’t it? Remember State Department’s airhead Jen Psaki? She was a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign back in 2007 and dismissed the tickets as not relevant. But Rubio’s are according to the left wing media, just remember that.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.
The Illinois Senator shelled out $375 in January _ two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign _ to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.
The story was first reported Wednesday by The Somerville News.
Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, mostly for parking in a bus stop, parking without a resident permit and failing to pay the meter, records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show.
He incurred $140 in fines and $260 in late fees in Cambridge in all, but he paid $25 for two of the tickets in February 1990.

happyfeet (f0b0e8) — 6/7/2015 @ 7:39 amI am hoping in my lifetime to see the NYTs fold. The NYT media poodles and its biased coverage makes the National Enquirer look like a beacon of truth in journalism.

Politics aside, it’s fascinating the way that aspects of the economy — such as dead-tree publications (eg, the long-ailing, long-marginalized San Francisco Chronicle, Detroit Free Press, etc, or specialty magazines catering to leftists [The Nation] or rightists [The Weekly Standard], etc) — somehow manage to survive decade after decade, sort of like a version of the walking dead or a zombie.
I always keep this in mind when attempting to figure out the nuts and bolts of this or other societies’ economies. Simply put, the existence of people out there merely breathing and eating (or reading and subscribing to publications) will always keep X amount of financial activity going throughout a nation.
Mark (a11af2) — 6/7/2015 @ 8:33 amLiving in Los Angeles as I do, what I find newsworthy about King Obama’s parking tickets is that even with late fees, they still come to only $25 each on average.
Karl L (cb2ce3) — 6/7/2015 @ 8:45 amThe reason King Obama’s parking tickets were so cheap is because they were on-campus fines given out by the college part of the police department.

jim (a9b7c7) — 6/7/2015 @ 10:41 amThis is more “working the ref.” The Times ignoring one utterly irrelevant item while writing about another similarly irrelevant item isn’t proof of anything. The Washington Post and Boston Globe (owned at the time by the NY Times) both wrote about Obama’s parking tickets.
Jonny Scrum-half (52adac) — 6/7/2015 @ 11:53 amIf any of you are intellectually honest enough to read Bob Somerby’s history of Campaign 2000 with an open mind, my guess is that you’ll come away disabused of the notion of a “liberal media.” Somerby has exhaustively documented at his blog, The Daily Howler, how the NY Times, Washington Post and other “MSM” outlets treated Gore much worse than Bush.

The Japanese were better at this in December 1941. The Americans were better at this in June 1942. Actually the Battle of the Coral Sea should have provided some hints.

I realize the extra “s” kinda changes things. But not really.
I’m taking advantage of the situation to point out unlike our future inevitable Democratic party anointed one I have actual achievements to my credit. As part of a team. Starting with the PACFLT TARPS Derby in 1990.
Then there was the Boola Boola for the missile shot.
Not to brag. Quite the opposite.
We are on the verge of someone less accomplished than me, and I would hardly say I’m qualified hence I’m not running, solely because of a vagina.

Stephen Macklin (7552ce) — 6/7/2015 @ 4:50 pmThat’s not an OS2U Kingfisher at the 25 minute mark. Kingfishers were not biplanes. Maybe it was an SOC, later the Seagull.
Steve57 (48418e) — 6/7/2015 @ 5:11 pmMoving infractions are different than parking tickets, but you all know that. After all, the law treats them much differently. You don’t have to attend remedial driving school if you park your car incorrectly but you certainly do if you are cited for careless driving, speeding, or failure to observe a traffic signal over a dozen times.

Note how the nav would switch back and forth between Scout Observation (SO) and Observation Scout (OS). The same kind of thing would happen later, what with some SBD squadrons being designate scouting squadrons (emphasis SBD, the last D being for the Douglass aircraft company) and the other the bombing squadron (SBD).

Every time the grievance-mongers start screaming about something, it turns out to be nothing like what they’re screaming about. They’re doing more to harm real victims than any whatever-ist they could ever dream up.
