When it comes to politics, the NYT is a running dog for the DNC.

The Clinton administration folk would be bowled over by that comment. You and I have typed about this before. If it had not been for their early and faulty investigation in Whitewater, that little incident would not have happened. And, they kept it up. Just doing what a good newspaper does; investigating power.

As for the Times editorial department, that's different. Each newspaper creates a signature in its editorial page, no one more so than the right wing stupidity of the Wall Street Journal. The Times editorials are more thoughtful than those in the WSJ. And, much to the Times credit, it's op ed stuff is far more diverse than the WSJ. It, like Fox and the Washington Times, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party.

As for balance in posting, have you been keeping your readers up on just how close Fitzgerald is to some sort of move on Rove. Had his secretary and someone else in the other day to address the issue that Rove's WH telephone logs did not include the Novak phone call.

If Fitzgerald doesn't produce some indictments, and he may not, given that this is after all the Bush administration and it controls the Congress as well, then that will put all that much more fervor into the eventual investigations of the "fixed" Iraq intelligence and the frantic attempts to counter critiques such as the one Wilson offered.

Gonna be some interesting reading once the Bush administration moves back to the hot plains of Central Texas for good.
