The New York Times Wants Alito Filibustered

posted by Jason
Generation Why?

The New York Times is finally giving up on trying to be an objective observer and reporter of the news. Today, the Old Gray Lady has said to hell with the code of journalist ethics that say, "Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting."

Today, the "newspaper of record" is making a purely political statement and encouraging Democrats to filibuster Judge Samuel Alito's nomination. They say "he holds extreme views" and that he is an "eager lieutenant in the ranks of the conservative theorists who ignore our system of checks and balances".

This is the same newspaper that hailed the chief ACLU litigator-turned-Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's celebration of "the role religion plays in her work" as a Supreme Court Justice and called her a "Balanced Jurist at Home in the Middle."

<<< A filibuster is a radical tool. It's easy to see why Democrats are frightened of it. But from our perspective, there are some things far more frightening. One of them is Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court. >>>


Thanks for the objectivity. But I guess actual objective journalism would require coverage of this ( texasrainmaker.blogspot.com ), so it's understandable why they don't.

At least the New York Times is admitting they're tired of pretending to be unbiased. Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.
