The guy is a bit confused... he's claiming that the media slants way to the left, but most people just believe it.... Ummm, well if they believed it then the media wouldn't be to the left of them!! LOL It's like the anti-science/evolution crazies.... they don't like people saying and reporting what they say and report! If scientists believe in evolution, they believe in evolution... if you think that is "slanted", then go become a scientist and show otherwise and get your "science" into a text book. Media outlets do what they do and report what they think is important in the way they think is correct... if you think it's wrong go become a writer or reporter and report differently!! It's not some conspiracy... those folks think differently than you... live with it. DAK

The NY Times is the worst media outlet in the world. Its bias is so pervasive and so extreme that there is no value to it unless one lives in New York or wishes to remain conversant on the New York social scene. Whena media outlet moves far to the left of every politician in the country except Obama they are simply an extremist organization. They are as extreme as Wahabis. EVERY newspaper in the country has a left or right bias depending on their editorial board, but if you're reasonably intelligent and DON'T depend on just one or two news sources you can parse out the bias and get the information. It is not just the editorial board that influences the bias. Take for example the Wall Street Journal: It is documented to have a conservative leaning editorial board. It is also documented to have liberal leaning news reporting. So people like you will assume that it has a right bias and a[[ly a left filter to it resulting in a far left interpretation of the news. If a person is reasonably intelligent they will refuse to support extremists. Thus the NY Times must be allowed to fail.
