No, John, I don't notice things like that. But if I did, I'd think to myself, "banking is one of New York's most important businesses and this is going to piss people off all over the world and make them wary of US banks, while the arrest of seven whacky black cult members is regional news until we know more."

If I may be allowed to guess, though, I bet you told yourself, "the New York Times is trying to destroy America and are betraying state secrets and should be prosecuted for treason, while they continue to downplay the threats of terrorism."

Maybe it's just an innate difference between people like you and people like me, sort of like "cats don't catch Frisbees, dogs don't chase catnip mice." Never the twain shall meet, philosophically.

I'd love to interest you in some catnip mice, but you keep offering to play Frisbee.

Edit: yes, the New York Times has a biased point of view. Everybody has biases. It's futile to pretend that one doesn't. "Fair and balanced" Fox news is usually hard right, to me, NYTimes politically is usually far left to me. When a topic interests me, I read many points of view and then "triangulate" my own opinion.

I find it pointless, and irritating, to have to keep reading complaints about bias in the news media. Grow up! (Not aimed solely at you, by a long shot.)
