New York Times refuses to publish Goldstone retraction

Eldad Beck, 'NYT refused to publish Goldstone retraction,' YNet News, 4 April 2011.

Source close to South African judge claims he initially approached liberal publication to print his letter of regret – and was rejected. New York Times says in response it does not comment on editorial process

Not only did Judge Richard Goldstone's words of regret fail to match the global resonance of his original report, it now comes to light that one of the most important newspapers in the world refused to publish his retraction.

A source close to Goldstone stated that in the past few days the judge had approached the editor of the New York Times opinion pages requesting to post the article he wrote in the paper – and was told his article was rejected.

NYT lead editoralist, Thomas Friedman, responded to Goldstone,
"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction."

And, the good news is that the New York Times is now making you pay to read their leftard hate-screeds on-line.

JEREMY W. PETERS, "The Times Announces Digital Subscription Plan," New York Times. 17 March 17, 2011

Now, for the folks who run the Times into the ground, the business plan is more realistic if You pay Me to read the Times.
