This Just In: New York Times Supporting Mark Olson!
Ken Avidor has the scoop! According to Ken, the New York Times is conspiring to help a Minneapolis Republican in his domestic abuse case!
As amazing as that sounds, Mr. Avidor has breathlessly documented the whole thing:
See, this is just another example of right wingers using the New York Times as their own personal propaganda tool. It's so transparently obvious that a Times piece about a West Virginia transit system must be linked to the Minnesota Republican party!
And even if this obvious transgression was unintentional, the Times should know better. Any good reporter will tell you: when writing an article about a successful piece of technology, always be sure to check whether a local politician 1500 miles away supports a kinda-sorta similar technology and is awaiting trial for a completely unrelated domestic abuse charge! How can a jury be expected to render a proper verdict when they've been tainted by this Morgantown article?
Shame on you, New York Times.
As amazing as that sounds, Mr. Avidor has breathlessly documented the whole thing:
In May, I predicted that Mark Olson's pals at the Advanced Transit Association (ATRA) would crank up the PRT publicity machine as a preemptive whitewash for Olson's role in the PRT scam in time for his upcoming trial. Today, the New York Times published yet another puff piece about the Morgantown PRT...
So, why did the Times run this puff piece for PRT? Does all this recent PRT publicity have something to do with Rep. Mark Olson's trial?

I think their motto is "All the news that's fit to travel on-demand and nonstop from origin to destination."
In addition, doesn't he get caught in his own smear? Under his Guilt By Association principle, he's part of the conspiracy since the Times mentioned him in a puff piece last November.
