>>"And a creationist will find no comfort in Science Times.

Not that creationists should expect to find comfort in Science Times. Newspapers have the right to decide what's important and what's not. But their editors must also expect that some readers will think: "This does not represent me or my interests. In fact, it represents my enemy." So is it any wonder that the offended or befuddled reader might consider everything else in the paper - including, say, campaign coverage - suspicious as well?"<<

The above from Okrent's article...if you are offended and befuddled, don't read the paper, particularly since Okrent's main point is that the national NY Times has surprise, surprise, a New York City cultural bias. If that is too much for you to handle stick to the WSJ cultural pages, Washington Times and Newsmax.

You think? There were apparently 2 previous mentions of Okrent here before your rant du jour, #reply-20170865 #reply-20185928 . One was from me, but Nadine had nothing much to say about it, since it involved the dreaded liberal NYT passing on Chalabi fabrications as if they had something to do with reality.

Meanwhile if I were into the LMAO thing, true believers preaching about "intellectual honesty" might tempt me. Some people dig war propaganda, others don't.
