New York Times Supports TPP Without a Shred of Real Evidence


Now THAT is integrity! The New York Times editorial probably says as much about the media company’s sycophantic willingness to support the Obama regime as it does about the massive push the administration is making to force the agreement on a dubious public.

As Andrea Peterson explains in her Washington Post article:

The Obama administration is secretly negotiating a treaty that could have significant effects on domestic law. Officially, it’s a “free trade” treaty among Pacific rim countries, but a section of the draft agreement leaked in 2011 suggested that it will require signers, including the United States, to make significant changes to copyright law and enforcement measures.

Strangely, the administration seems to be encouraging the public to have a debate on the treaty before they know what’s in it. The Office of the United States Trade Representative has solicited comments about the treaty on its Web site, but there is no particularly detailed information about the content of the agreement, or a draft of the current version of the proposal.
