New York Times and Reagan's Death
The Times attitude and coverage of Reagan's death were appalling. He only received a 3 column headline while The horses at Belmont receive 2 columns and a picture almost as big as Reagan's. Reagan received 1 partial column of the front page, and was continued into the obituary section. In addition, the headline was dreadful. The Times refuses to acknowledge the Reagan "won" the cold war. It refers to his cold war buildup, which was the cause of Communism's fall, but won't say that he beat the Russians. (I was so emotionally affected when that wall came down and what it meant for freedom, that I wanted to go to Berlin to experience it.) (BTW, I saw a Discover/Times documentary on Berlin in which JFK's donut speech was shown, but not Regan's tear down this wall speech! It shows the Times's bias and its attempt to suppress history. Meanwhile, back to the front page, the Times did mention the Iran-Contra affair, which was only an attempt to fight Communism, while not mentioning the end of the cold war. In addition, there was no editorial about Reagan, or any op-ed. Unbelievable! It shows that the editors and writers are just whores working for the Sulzberger pimps.
