NOT THE NEW YORK TIMES:

War News Gets Better (NY Times, April 3, 2003)

After bitter bickering over the adequacy of the invasion force and a delay caused by blinding sandstorms and attacks on the supply lines, the allied campaign in Iraq has finally begun moving again.

Finally?

We're increasingly of the opinion that when the memoirs are all written, it will turn out that Howell Raines was a parodist of some fair degree of genius, who quite intentionally turned the Times into a running joke and laughed up his sleeve as folks failed to catch on. No serious person could use the word "finally" to describe a "delay" in a war that has lasted two weeks.
