Inform the world - OF ALL THE FACTS NOT JUST THE ONES THE TIMES LIKES. Act as the moral barometer of the nation - IS NOT KNUCKLING UNDER TO RELATIVE MORALITY Turn a profit - HOW WHEN YOU MISSED ON THE TWO ABOVE??? They even overrule the readers' Ombudsman! I only read the comics in my local newspaper (and grab the grocery ads) in these days of biased reporting at least some of the local strips are humorous. What the Times prints or fails to print cannot even pass as a joke! Tucson Don - used to get the paper and read it!

Inform the world – OF ALL THE FACTS NOT JUST THE ONES THE TIMES LIKES.

Act as the moral barometer of the nation – IS NOT KNUCKLING UNDER TO RELATIVE MORALITY

Turn a profit – HOW WHEN YOU MISSED ON THE TWO ABOVE???

They even overrule the readers’ Ombudsman!

The haughty attitude of knowing more than your readers and having the moral responsibility of having to save them from themselves does not make an endearing statement to many. The Times fully has the ability of being a world leading source of news, but until they take the blinders off and tell like it is, not how they would like it to be, they will continue in a downward spiral. The "barometer" needs to go back to the shop.

This paper is simply a Liberal newsletter. God forbid they, or any newspaper, would actually distance themselves from the politicians they cover and actually report the facts of what these politicians are really doing, they might be relevant again. They need to quit reporting on what someone says or intends, and report on actions and results. But that will never happen and they will simply go away. When a paper makes the National Enquirier look like a pillar of journalistic integrity, their days are numbered. I'm not looking for fair and balanced here, just the facts. I'll figure things out from there. So when will the Democrats put forth a bailout program to save the paper with taxpayer dollars? This paper is simply a Liberal newsletter.
