(2003-07-12) -- The New York Times today asked Congress to launch an investigation into all the errors The Times has made during the past 107 years. The request comes on the heels of a Times' editorial demanding an investigation into how a 16-word statement about uranium was allowed into the text of the President's State of the Union Address.
Publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., said the editorial made him realize that the Times doesn't hold itself to the same standard it requires of the White House.
"If we're going to maintain the trust of our readers, "said Mr. Sulzberger, "We must do more than print corrections when we make mistakes. We must enlist outside agencies to launch probes into how incorrect information gets onto the printed page, and whether it was a deliberate attempt to deceive. That's why we're asking Congress to investigate us. Congressmen are revered by the citizenry for their unshakeable integrity. We will submit everything we have published to their scrutiny."

Look what else the NY TImes is writing!! Makes me sick.
quote:(2003-07-14) -- President George W. Bush today announced he would undergo elective surgery to separate his brain from his head, thus removing what little amount of guilty conscience he has left for making up stuff about nuclear weapons, hurting the middle class to help the wealthy, and generally trashing the environment. The team of surgeons from Johns Hopkins University Medical Center agreed unanimously that the operation would be simple, painless and no one would notice a thing.
"There's basically a large pocket of air between his ears that makes a whistling sound when winds blow at about 10mph," said Dr. Serge Mortivan, Senior ears, nose, throat supervising physician. "The operation will involve using a Q-Tip momentarily in his left auditory canal."
The operation, which is attempted successfully by millions of Americans daily, is expected to last 1 minute and 12 seconds.
