NYT: "Whistleblower" Versus Partisan Hatchet Man

The Paper of Record knows the difference. And wants you to know, too.

That Scott-Ritter-looking buffoon from the NSA was of course a "whistleblower" for revealing highly classified information. But the man who leaked the Barrett report to the NYT isn't:

A copy of the report was obtained by The New York Times from someone sympathetic to the Barrett investigation who wanted his criticism of the Clinton administration to be known.

Powerline is waiting for the New York Times to identify the source of one of its myriad anti-Bush leaks as:

A copy of the report was obtained by The New York Times from someone sympathetic to the Democrats' position who wanted his criticism of the Bush administration to be known.

As The Man says, I think it's going to be a long... long time.

Scott Ritter turned out to be right.

Yeah, right that those underage girls will fall for that "meet me at Burger King" line every single time.

Given the breadth and changing nature of Scott Ritter's opinions about Iraq, Mary, that'd he'd be right is a given.

The only question is which opinion of Scott's and at what point in time.

Regarding the Times piece, what Ace overlooks is that in the NYT piece the leaker self-identifies himself as a person "wanted his criticism of the Clinton administration to be known."

The leaker of the NSA program details probably self-identified himself as a noble patriot who only wants what's really best for the country.

If anything, the NYT times double-standard cuts against the Left in this case.

Given that the NYT's whistleblower lost his clearance because he was diagnosed as nuts--that was the offical medical diagnosis--why are we paying attention to him, the story, or the NYTs?

Link mentioned above by its author deserves to be quoted in full:

NY Times Lines Up Democratic Donor as "Source"
In an article set out to discredit the Cisneros/Clinton scandal before it starts, the New York Times lines up testimony from a seemingly neutral party, Robert S. Litt, to slam the report and it's author.

According to OpenSecrets.org, during the last 3 election cycles, Robert S. Litt (and his wife Deborah) have donated $38,650 to Democrats.

Yup, middle of the road reporting. No bias here.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
You know we "joke" about the GOPe just "conserving" leftist things?
