The New York Times is my Merkan paper of choice. It's one of very few mainstream US media sources that treats politics and politicians with anything other than obsequious unction. Today's editorial on Bush's (in)decision not to make a keynote speech about Iraq before Christmas is a good example:
quote: We are more than eager for this White House to finally get something right on Iraq. But we find it chilling to imagine that Mr. Bush and his advisers have only now begun a full policy review, months after Iraq plunged into civil war and years after experts began warning that the administration’s strategy was not working.
