Michelle Malkin exposes exceptionally shoddy New York Times “journalism”
Bookworm on Dec 02 2009 at 10:23 pm | Filed under: Media matters
I want to be a journalist. I mean, heck, who would want a job where you don’t have to think and you don’t have to research — all you have to do is emote. That’s what emotive New York Times “journalist” Nick Kristof did when he wrote a sob story about a young man with a bizarre brain tumor. Kristof assured us that the young man was practically dying in a gutter because, thanks to the absence of ObamaCare, no one would treat him. Krisof made the young man the poster child for passing ObamaCare.
Except it’s all a lie. Well, not all of it. The young man exists, as does his tumor. Everything else is a lie. Read Michelle Malkin to find out the details. What’s really shocking is that the truth didn’t involve months of research in the far-off out-posts of the known world. Michelle just picked up a phone. Kristof, apparently, couldn’t be bothered. I guess Kristof can now take his rightful place in the Jayson Blair Hall of Fame at the New York Times.
UPDATE: Welcome to all the readers who followed this link, whether from Lucianne, or Wizbang, or elsewhere. Ironically, this is not one of my meatier posts. Instead, I’m merely passing on useful information that you definitely won’t read in the New York Times. I invite you to go to the main page of my blog and check it out. I have a few more substantive pieces there that might entice you to return again some day.

Some Interesting Updates to NYT ObamaCare Story…
Michelle Malkin followed up on a story Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof reported in the New York Times as evidence of the urgent need for universal health care and she……
The Trifecta – Kristof is not a doctor, Kristof is not a journalist and the NYT is not a newspaper.

Actually seems sort of normally shoddy, but that’s a matter of opinion I guess.
Book — it gets better / I mean worse:
Kristof graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard College and then studied law at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, graduating with first class honors. [Acc. to his NYT bio]
(After tossing you that link, why do I feel like one of those foolish tourists who get lowered in a shark cage next to a Great White?)
P.S. It gets better/worse still:
The only other Rhodes Scholar that I knew (also a Harvard graduate) was the model for the Paul Giamatti character in “Big Fat Liar” — if you’ve got pre-teens, you’ve probably seen it many times.
THese people are just lying. Rush Limbaugh can fall for a hoax, for like an hour, and because they believe themselves superior humans, they think they won’t even fall for a hoax at all, thus justifying any and all evil they do.
They are also enemies of the truth. Which is a particularly evasive quality given that the US Constitution is based upon the truth of human rights and the higher power of God. Remove either one from reality, and the truth of the matter is that you no longer have a justification to maintain human rights, for if there exists no higher power than any power can justifiably give and remove rights and if there is no right to humans, then everybody can be made a slave of the state or of a religion.
That makes these Leftists not just “Americans we disagree with”.

While many people may find that humorous, on a puerile perspective, I look at it through the lens of training. The reaction from the groin strike, at the outer limits, is enough to knock a man off his feet. Particularly useful if you wish for a finishing strike from a superior position.
Surprise is the key factor. Adrenaline and endorphines will reduce or eliminate almost completely the groin reaction. The spinal reflex will still fire, but it may fire slowly enough for those hormones to control or reduce. People with faster reflexes are actually more vulnerable than not.
Of course, it should have been Kristoff in that picture. But you can’t always get mega apples in life.
Btw, that’s concrete. I can kill people on concrete by making them fall in an uncontrolled fashion. But people are at play so they never know this. This knowledge was never intended for children at play.
