New York Times Public Editor: No systematic bias here
LiberaL media blog

New York Times Public Editor Daniel Okrent asserts there is no “systematic bias” against President Bush (or Senator Kerry) at the Gray Lady. Meanwhile, peace and good will have broken out in the Middle East, Hell has frozen over and Walter Duranty has issued a posthumous apology to the tens of millions who didn’t die in the Soviet famines of the thirties.

In other news, Okrent reports “As nasty as critics on the right can get (plenty nasty), the left seems to be winning the vileness derby this year.” He honors one Steve Schwenk of San Francisco with his name in the paper for writing national political correspondent Adam Nagourney, “I hope your kid gets his head blown off in a Republican war.” Perhaps Adam is lucky though, because “Some women reporters regularly receive sexual insults and threats.”

Okrent thinks he knows who is behind this -- "the bloggers who encourage their readers to send this sort of thing to The Times."

Names! I want names!
