New York Times:  no headline coverage

"[...] The attacks have changed the New York Times. I used to wake up one
hour early to read that paper, but now it is not worth reading sitting
down. There is little useful news in the Times. Most is propaganda. I think
the information from White house also includes a lot of propaganda. The
problem is the average citizen cannot distinguish the real news from the
propaganda.  [...] In the time of war, controlling the information is
important and those respected papers cannot be trusted. [...] "
--Thomas Pynchon, post-9/11 comments published in Playboy Japan (translated
from English to Japanese and back to English)
