Nyt hasn't distorted the facts to political ends just once.

That's true; Walter Duranty's Pulitzer-winning reports of the Soviet Union for the NYT certainly come to mind. That doesn't stop a broken clock from being right twice a day.

That said, all we have here is a prominent blowhard railing against a publication that favors his opponent. Not really meaty HN-worthy material, IMO.
