The Corzine Times, a website of the Republican Governors Association publicizing negative news stories about the politically vulnerable New Jersey governor, received a cease and desist letter from The New York Times, which so far doesn’t seem to have seen fit to include that fact for its readers, though other papers have at least blogged about it.

I examined the websites of both the “Corzine Times” and the New York Times.
The allegations in the Nastygram are preposterous. This is simply a SLAPP suit on the part of an increasingly corrupt and hyper-biased Times.
Yeeesh. Free speech for me, but not for thee at the old and dying gray lady.
But then again, they are strapped for cash and surely getting desperate.
On the other hand, perhaps the Times had a point. I note that the Corzine Times is down for “maintenance.” Hmmm. I have no sympathy though for the Times, but I think they may have a point.

they don’t have a point. this is pure speech suppression in the disguise of IP protection.
Nobody of sane mind is going to think the corzine times is at all owened or affiliated with the new york times. its that simple.
