Donald Trump: The New York Times is going to hell
Posted by Dominic Basulto
Donald Trump is none too pleased about the new TrumpNation book, a tell-all expose about The Donald that pegs his net worth at the sub-billion-dollar level. In a post on the Trump Blog, Donald rips the new book, beats up the book's author and launches into a diatribe about The New York Times:
"Someone just wrote a book about me. It's the biggest pile of garbage I've ever seen, written by a highly questionable and, some people say, disgraced reporter named Tim O'Brien. I looked up O'Brien on the Internet and found stories comparing him to Jayson Blair. Blair was The New York Times' infamous reporter, who was fired in shame after he was found guilty of fabricating stories, sources, and quotes. Jayson Blair almost took down The New York Times, and now the paper might be taken down by Judith Miller, who's just as bad as Jayson Blair...
The fact is The New York Times is going to hell. They published a major story about me on Sunday that they knew was wrong... The paper's editors knew the story was wrong, but they wanted to try and sell newspapers. The New York Times was once a great newspaper, but it's not worth the paper it's printed on anymore. Changes have to be made. The New York Times is now reeling from so many huge mistakes by reporters and management that people are saying it's one of the worst newspapers in America."
If you happen to cross paths with Donald Trump this week, it's probably best to change course and start running in the opposite direction - at least until things simmer down. And don't mention the hair, whatever you do.

Not only do I agree with The Donald about the NYTimes being one of the worst papers in the country, but I like his hair! He knows what looks good on him, and when I have imagined him with standard hairstyles, it was like "No no! The other way was better!"

The Donald, who killed at the Friars Roast, incidentally, has got his facts askew. Jayson Blair was not fired from The Times. He resigned as the investigation into his stories was beginning. His situation was compounded by a mental breakdown.
While it is open season for The Times, it is worth noting that Blair holds no animus toward his former employer. He regrets his misdeeds. It could be argued that things would have turned out differently both for Blair and The Times if he had sought psychiatric treatment sooner.
As his representative, I can say that he hopes that his story will help others who suffer from manic-depressive and other debilitating psychiatric disorders.

Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs.Mary Alade Koffi, a widow to Late Sherrif Dan Koffi, I am 67years old,
I am now a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
From all indications, my condition is serious and according to my
doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness,although as a christain,I beleive God and I know that I will not die,I will leave to declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son was killed during the Ogoni Crisis and I am presently Leaving alone.Our Lord Jesus Christ is my comforter.
My late husband was very wealthy we have a lot of properties including
Permalink to CommentShares and houses.After the death of my husband,I made up my mind to travel abroadto leave the rest of my life and continue to do the work of God as a missionary.I called our lawyer and I instructed him to sell all my husbands properties and shares to enable me raise some money to conitue my mission.The lawyer sold the Shares and some of the properties and I was able raise the sum of $7,000,000.00(Seven million US Dollars)The fund is in cash,for the safety of the fund till am able to travel out,I packaged the fund in consignments deposited it with a Security Company.
Presently,all the documents concerning the consignments are with my
lawyer.Now that my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared and I want the fundto be used for the work of God all over the world.
I have prayed and I told God to direct me to an honest christan who
willreceive this fund and utilise it for things that will glorify the name of God.After my prayers,I searched the christain site in the internet,I found your email address and I decided to contact you.Please if you are interested in using this fund for the work of God,please send to me your full names and address to enable me give it to my lawyer for immediate arrangement with the security company on how the conbsignments that contained the fundwill be delivered to you.
I await your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless you.
