The NYTimes is in the center. Lots and lots of political space to its left.
I have to print this out and show it to my husband. It will make his day. ;^)
The New York Times is a very fine newspaper. I read it on-line every day (not every bit of it, just the bits that attract my attention.)
It is NOT, however, in the center of the US political spectrum. Yes, there are positions further to the left, but they are sparsely populated. The New York Times hasn't endorsed a Republican since Eisenhower.
My guess is that the most centrist news outlet in the US is probably the Christian Science Monitor, but I don't read it that often, so it's just a guess. Or maybe USA Today. Or maybe this is a fool's game, because nobody on earth is unbiased, not even reporters. (said in a slightly sarcastic tone)
I am sure you have no trouble at all recognizing that Fox News and the Washington Times are not balanced, and tend to the right. Well, the NYTimes is not balanced, either, and tends to the left.
I hope you don't think that you, yourself, are in the center. Maybe that's the difficulty? |
