Another fine example as to why the NYT is largely overrated as an objective news source:

www.mediaresearch.org

Being a "staunch Republican" contravenes helping "raise money for food and clothing for poor children," the New York Times contended in one of its daily obituaries for a victim of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Sadly, the New York Times could not keep the liberal tilt of its staff from infecting its commendable effort, which will take about a year, to run brief obituaries every day until it has done one on every victim.

Under the heading of "Defying Easy Categorization," the October 19 Times item began:

"Edward C. Murphy's life brimmed with contrasts and deep loyalties. He was a staunch Republican who invested in real estate and race horses. But he also helped nonprofit groups raise money for food and clothing for poor children in his native Clifton, N.J."

As James Taranto, author of OpionionJournal.com’s "Best of the Web" column commented: "If the Times thinks there's something unusual about Republicans helping poor children, it should say so on its editorial page, not in a news article -- and especially not an obituary."

To read the entire article about Murphy’s life, go to: nytimes.com

Murphy is the eighth item and the link does require a New York Times online registration.
