Can the New York Times Go Any Lower?

I honestly did not think the MSM could go much lower. After Rathergate, and their ongoing opposition to the war, I thought they were done. But now this:

NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S CHILDREN

**Exclusive**

The NEW YORK TIMES is looking into the adoption records of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate the status of adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.

Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.

Both children were adopted from Latin America.

A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoption papers are part of the paper's "standard background check."

A standard background check?!?!? On his adopted children? This is repulsive. Leave that man's children alone, for God's sake!

Previously the WASHINGTON POST Style section had published a story criticizing the outfits Mrs. Roberts had them wear at the announcement ceremony.

One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES action declared: “Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts’ family like this is despicable. Children’s lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.”

One top Republican official when told of the situation was incredulous. “This can’t possibly be true?”

Oh yes. It's true. And why should we be shocked that the New York Times would put politics over decency? What's shocking is that they, and the rest of the MSM, continue to propagate the lie that they are objective journalists. They are neither objective nor journalists. They are masters of propaganda, fearful that the one hold the left continues to have on the reins of government may be slipping away. Their fears can't come true quickly enough.
