  • So Much for Being the Paper of Record

    This column in today's NYT, Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?, is the talk of the Blogosphere, and James Joyner has a round-up.

    I concur with his basic conclusions. I will further say that it is nice to hear (ok, read) the Times admitting as much. I will say that while true objectivity is impossile to achieve, it is the case that the litany of examples that Okrent gives in hs column do demonstrate that the clear biases of the Times make it rather difficult, indeed impossible, for the paper to pretend it is truly the "paper of record" or that it is the elite of elite papers that hovers above all the others.

    And now everybody on the left says: When will Fox News follow suit? Drop that annoying fair and balanced stuff?

    Although from the references you've made before, I'm pretty sure you're like me. The few, the proud, the MSNBC viewers.
