Everything above is strict allegations, no quotes from the times and no links.. You wrote that after the first five introductory sentences. ------------------------- Swooning began...what the hell does that mean? "The reporters never directly acknowledged Soto's liberal outlook" Is the author suggesting that the Soto story shouldn't have been covered. No, they're suggesting the Sotomayor story should have covered it better. -------------------- What is the liberal bias above, and where is the link to the Times story? The liberal bias is described below: The Times didn't directly label Sotomayor a "liberal,” but used the “conservative” label four times to describe Sotomayor's opposition. ---------------------- Examples of swooning: Her rise from a housing project in the East Bronx was called "a compelling life story" in a May 28 lead article, while Sheryl Gay Stolberg's gushing 5,000-word "Woman in the News" profile of Sotomayor on May 27 positioned the judge's rise as "Her up-by-the-bootstraps tale, an only-in-America story...." --------------------- That Dems don't use the word liberal to describe themselves does not mean that no one is liberal: Dem's don't usually use the word liberal to describe them selves.... At this point, I'll suspend comment as its difficult in the rest of your post to tell your comments from the story.
