Arch, I don't know anything about New Orleans papers (or the Big Easy hisself, never been there) but I have learned to distrust the reportage in the New York Times. Not just the editorials but the reportage itself. I do like Tom Friedman, though. As for the networks feeding off the NYT, there was a book by a CBS reporter who got smacked for saying, well, yeah, there is a liberal bias in the way papers report stories, and I believe it was there that the way news went from the offices in the NYT to the anchor desks was described. I think it was Bernard Goldberg who wrote the book, and he got canned for going up against Gunga Dan (aka, The Dan). It was very interesting reading. I don't know enough about Russia and international relations to form an answer to your question. I do know that if there are issues and problems in the world, whether or not Bush had anything to do with their genesis, or whether or not he and his admin has any real power to affect such issues and problems in any meaningful way, the NYT will be ready to present them in the worst possible light.
