Hi, there, Buster.  Hilarious post about the credibility of journalism.
Before you rant on any further about "credibility" of anything, improve your own.  A few tips:  New York Times (caps, please).  The newspaper isn't "loosing" anything.  It's "losing."  "Reporting" as used here, is a verb, and a verb can't "have a pissing contest" or anything else.  "your flogging" is, more correctly, "you're flogging."

Care to try again?
