Okay, we don't take the NYT off the shit list as long as Judith "Kneepads" Miller is still drawing a paycheck without even an "oopsie!" of acknowledgement that her whoring for Chalabi helped bring about the qWagmire.

But they go a long way towards restoring their formerly-deserved reputation for greatness when the run this, even under a dumb headline like "The Scales Fall."
Krugman:

Last week President Bush found himself defending his record on national security without his usual protective cocoon of loyalty-tested audiences and cowed reporters. And the sound you heard was the scales' falling from millions of eyes.

Trying to undo the damage, Mr. Bush is now telling those loyalty-tested audiences that Senator John Kerry's use of the phrase "global test" means that he "would give foreign governments veto power over our national security decisions." He's lying, of course, as anyone can confirm by looking at what Mr. Kerry actually said. But it may still work - Mr. Bush's pre-debate rise in the polls is testimony to the effectiveness of smear tactics.

Isn't that a relief, to see that written so nonchalantly? It's no longer "NEWS FLASH: PRESIDENT LIES!"

Just, "He's lying, of course" a couple of paragraphs into the article. The "of course" just says it all. Go read the rest and enjoy.
