That would be your biased opinion of course.

The NYT is a liberal paper, but I don't often see its liberalism
spilling onto its news pages. I have seen that with the Wahsington
Post, especially when Bush was president. The Wash. Times is a
conservative paper whose right-wing bias does spill over onto its news
pages, and the Times editors even admit it. The whole reason the paper
was founded was to provide a conservative alternative to the Wash.
Post. The WT will be out of business in a few months.

========================================
As will most newspapers. Well, until Obama bails them out too.

He didn't. Although a semi-colon would've helped,does one have to
point out that he was describing the Washington Times to you?
Otherwise it was a poor reading by you, or a poor attempt at
diversion.

No, that's not what it is, Bert.

Of course it does. People usually buy a newspaper that agrees with
their political point of view.
