The New York Post, that is. And the punching bag is the New York Times, about which the Post says, "The Gray Lady Toys With Treason."
The self-styled paper of record seems to be trying to reclaim the loyalty of those radical lefties who ludicrously accused it of uncritically reporting on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
Yet the paper has done more than merely try to embarrass the Bush administration these last few months.
It has published classified information — and thereby knowingly blown the covers of secret programs and agencies engaged in combating the terrorist threat.
For decades the Times has exercised inordinate influence, electing our leaders for us by coloring the coverage, but the rise of the internet started the erosion of her power. We begin to see the lengths to which she will go. This is not news. We just couldn't see it so clearly before this.
