The New York Times is liberal, but that doesn't make them Aljazeera. * * *

Isn't Gail Collins still editor of the op-ed page at the Times? She's always been liberal and proud of it. I like her, if she had been in Dublin in 1916 I believe she would have grabbed a rifle. <g> I did not see the Zinni interview, but heard excerpts on the radio on Monday. He's a pretty harsh critic.

When you rely on a biased media source with an agenda, reading it cover to cover will still only provide you with their perspective. The NYT rarely if ever covers any of the good news from Iraq. If I read it the way you do, I would probably feel like you do. Fortunately I read the good NY paper every day instead. The news reporting is leftwing, but the WSJ Op / Ed is not.

<< " I read the [NYT] paper ever day, virually cover to cover, and although they have their moments its still as good a newspaper as you can get." >> "even sophisticated readers of The New York Times sometimes find it hard to distinguish between news coverage and commentary in our pages." Bill Keller - Executive Editor of The New York Times Just because you read the NYT does not make it good or objective. And it certainly doesn't make it "as good a newspaper as you can get" by any stretch. Perhaps you could explain how the NYT which claims - "All the News that's fit to Print" - manages to justify intentionally & illegally leaking classified information vital to our national security - while we are at war - on the front page!?!? And how does the "Paper of Record" manage to intentionally mischaracterize it as "illegal", "domestic spying", when the Bush Admin was legally wiretapping terrorists making international calls? The NYT is a liberal newspaper. Of that there is no doubt. Unfortunately the NYT denies it in public, yet even their own editors, etc., have admitted off the record they are indeed liberal. The NYT misleads its readers daily. The blogs that KLP directs you to have done an excellent job of factually documenting their overt liberal slant & how they accomplish that in so many different ways every day. It's shocking how often they grossly distort, intentionally mislead & even lie in so-called hard "news" stories. Heck, they still pretend that removing Saddam was only about "stockpiles" of WMD's & nothing else - I think they may have actually invented that lie. The NYT places opinion pieces disguised as "news" on their front page almost daily ("news" analysis). Even in their so-called hard "news" stories they frequently place their liberal opinions stated as fact on a regular basis. The NYT uses bogus polls to mislead people. First they run negative, intentionally misleading stories about the Bush Admin, the war or the military. Then they run their bogus polls where they claim support for Bush/the war/the military, etc. is down. Both the slanted "news" & the bogus polls are placed prominently on the front pages. And yes Michael, the polls are bogus (from intentional sampling errors to demographic errors to leading, loaded questions - all of which favors libs). And so is most of what they call "news" it too is chock full of errors, slant, misstatements, half truths, distortions & outright lies - all of which slanders & smears the Bush Admin, our military & the GWOT or paints their liberal causes in the best possible light. I could go on & on with other examples of the NYT's incontrovertible liberal bias, but I doubt you even read what I wrote thus far.
