“Only the News We See Fit to Print”
THE GRAY LADY
The New York Times’s masthead logo, “All the News That’s Fit to Print” first appeared on the paper in 1896. It is time that logo was removed.
The “Helen Thomas -Jews go home” affair remained totally unreported by the Times for four days. The idea that the event was not instant news is unthinkable.

This is the paper many people the world over, trust more than any other. This is the paper they rely on for all the news they need to know.
