Bill Kristol's Memory Hole

Think Progress reminds the NYT's latest columnist of the paper's crimes:

“I think it is an open question whether the Times itself should be prosecuted for this totally gratuitous revealing of an ongoing secret classified program that is part of the war on terror.” [Fox News, 7/2/06]

“I think the Justice Department has an obligation to consider prosecution.” [Fox News, 6/25/06]

"Still, the simple truth is that a great democracy like ours deserves a first-rate newspaper of record. And the New York Times isn't it. […]

Fundamental regime change at the New York Times is not in the cards. Inspections and sanctions won't work. Even the French can't help. The Times is irredeemable. The question is whether a new newspaper of record will replace it." [Weekly Standard, 5/26/03]

Good thing he didn't call for a boycott.
