Correcting a Typo and other NYT matters ...

Previously, at LPR, the name of James Bennet , editorial page editor at The New York Times got garbled in “Disinformation, As LPR Saw It.” LPR regrest the garble, but not its conclusion.

And by the way, have you noticed that The New York Times did not have the editorial words to denounce the destructive demonstration at Berkeley that prevented the speaking appearance of a conservative?

LPR has “high confidence” that NYT’s silence at this act of leftist intolerance indicates its support for the masked thugs who make clear their understanding that free speech does not extend to those who oppose leftist views. Today’s left apparently takes its lead from O’Brien, Winston Smith’s torturer in Orwell’s “1984” -- “’Whatever the Party holds to be truth is truth.’"

LPR Thanks ...

... William McGurn, who writes the "Main Street" column in The Wall Street Journal, for using the "lonely pamphleteer" quote in Branzburg v. Hayes, in his January 31 column, "The Press Deserves Freedom, Not Privilege"

LPR suggestion for President Trump ...

Following your state visit to Britain, this June, LPR recommends that you go to Israel to address the Knesset in Jerusalem, and reaffirm these words of Secretary of State John Kerry, spoken during his December 28 State Department speech (and ignored by The New York Times): "We fully respect Israel's profound historic and religious ties to [Jerusalem] and its holy sites." (Mr. Kerry added. "We never questioned that." Unesco certainly does.)
