NYT finally covers Surgeon General story.
Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that the New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today had not yet written a piece covering the criticism of President Bush’s Surgeon General nominee, James Holsinger. Today, the New York Times has a story. The Washington Post prints an LA Times article of Holsinger.
Contact USA Today and request that it also start covering Holsinger: accuracy@usatoday.com
UPDATE: Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has stated that she will oppose Holsinger’s nomination.

Good, but the press needs to cover Bush drinking beer/booze in Germany as well.
June 9th, 2007 at 12:41 pmDaryll needs to weigh in with his usual wit and charm on this nominee.

Daryll has been noticibly absent lately… And it’s not like Daryll to ever miss a thread on homosexuality.
You think he finally found a nice boyfriend to keep him occupied?
Glad to see Hillary stepping up. While I still don’t trust her motives, lately, getting these Democrats to act Democratic, by whatever means necessary, is fine with me.
June 9th, 2007 at 1:02 pmI just want the press to do it’s job without us having to demand they do it.
Jeebus….
June 9th, 2007 at 1:04 pmHey un, do you have the link to Darling Daryll’s cult web site?
June 9th, 2007 at 1:06 pmI think it was posted last week, but I didn’t get a chance to go visit or bookmark it.
Add me to the list of those who have sent a comment to USA Today on this matter…
June 9th, 2007 at 1:12 pmRUCerious,
I heard about the link, but missed that thread as well. I’ve been asking around for it – hopefully someone will remember where it was and post it? :D
June 9th, 2007 at 1:13 pmAnother Rove landmine waiting to be stepped on. 3 of the leading Democrat Presidential candidates and Teddy on that committee will be a gold mine.
June 9th, 2007 at 1:40 pmThe thing is, being anti-gay is A PLUS to many, many, many people

June 9th, 2007 at 2:12 pmTypical MSM behavior, thanks to TP and the other watchdog blogs, without which BushCo could get away with anything. Oh wait, they are. Oh well, at least we know it…

It’s exactly like the US being in Iraq, if we weren’t there those corrupt Iraqi shiteaters would could get away with anything.
Right???
June 9th, 2007 at 2:27 pm“those corrupt Iraqi shiteaters”
Comment by Mr. President
Wow, what nuanced political thought… so subtle, articulate, yet… yet… both pithy and degenerate at the same time.
And in their own country, to boot…

Well, aw shucks, Mr. P, I just call ‘em as I see ‘em.
June 9th, 2007 at 3:06 pmWell, the NY times won’t be so quick to report their own layoffs and slowing business – coming soon!
June 9th, 2007 at 5:48 pmMr. President,
I am indeed the man behind the cutting-edge development of CompTROLLER V-1. That’s right, the operator. I meant to be sarciastica with commento #10-ah. My appleologies if it didn’t crosso the bridge.

No, it did. I just wanted to make sure that someone wasn’t using your name.
Hey, are you affliated with the RoboTROLL 3000 series by any chance?
June 9th, 2007 at 6:05 pmRe-nominate him to the position of Assistant to the President for Bastardization and Grump Affairs.
June 9th, 2007 at 6:10 pmComment by Mr. President
I am not, Mr.President. Robotroll 3000 is my competitor, and my standing is bolstered everytime that dusty piece of crap attempts a confrontation. That humping-quality plastic is by no means the most innovative product on the shelf. Mr. President, your endorsement of CompTROLLER V-1 has boosted sales. You have been #1 at that.

OK,
in that case I declare the whole RoboTroll 3000 series a terrorist organization.
June 9th, 2007 at 6:19 pmWell, don’t blame them TP, they’ve been consumed with finishing up documents containing top-secret U.S. information for timely faxing to Al-Qaeda.
June 9th, 2007 at 6:25 pmComment by Mr. President
GREAT CHOICE. Banning Robotroll is in the best interest of safety for the American people. Don’t forget the usual no-_______ and banning access to methodustoolz.com. According to intelligence, this bot may also be devising fake anti-war sites keep the enemy’s spirits going.
You’re a quick wit, Mr. President.
June 9th, 2007 at 6:29 pmPraise Thinkburgers.org!
June 9th, 2007 at 6:37 pmWho dat?
June 9th, 2007 at 6:47 pmNYT is an undercover terrorist operation.
June 9th, 2007 at 7:13 pmGOD BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU Ms. CLINTON! I met your husband once and was such a giddy idiot all I could say was “God bless you!” What I want to say to you, should you by any chance see this is, DO NOT GIVE YOUR ENEMIES ANY AMMUNITION. They are legion and they are powerful. And if you make it to the White House TAX THE LIVING SH-T OUT OF THE TOP 10 PERCENT! They’ve had a free ride for TOO long! Oh, and another thing…can you take over Fox News by executive order? If Chavez can do it…the time has come for Americans to admit that a private media and a FREE media are NOT the same thing.
June 9th, 2007 at 7:48 pmAnybody here?
June 9th, 2007 at 8:04 pmNYT is full of douchies.
