It is perfectly appropriate for any paper to have any editorial opinion they choose. But here is the problem, The vast number (by there own admission) of reporters on the staff of the Times are liberal. They filter the coverage through their liberal viewpoint. They can't help it they are human. Moreover the management of the Times are decidedly liberal and they are the ones who choose what report gets which emphasis. And where in the paper it is published. Plus it's the NEW YORK Times. NY is a decidedly liberal town and a fair number of times reporters live in the NY City area. And there is this--many surveys have pointed out that Trump had gotten 90% or more negative coverage form the the main stream media of which the NY Times is a part. The reporters and the management of the Times do not have meetings where the plot 'what negative report should we puplish about Trump today". It's not a conscience thing. But the bias is there never the less. The New York Times is certainly a valid source of news, but remember those stories are filtered through a liberal prism

The NYT is reputed to be one of the most reliable sources in the country. Which paper would you consider to be more accurate?


The Wall Street Journal, while conservative, at least has more balanced reporting than either the NY Times of the Washington Post.

The Post is clearly a left-wing echo chamber. It declares under its masthead "Democracy Dies in Darkness", yet the majority of stories are based on anonymous sources. That's not darkness? It's editorial page declares it is "An Independent Newspaper". That is an insult to its readers and subscribers, who are leaving in droves. The Post's readership fell from 250,000 readers 5 years ago to 120,000 last year according to the website www.statista.com.

That's interesting! The WSJ is conservative but it doesn't have a conservative bent??? LoL
The WSJ is a legit paper with 40 Pulitzers to it's credit vs 122 for the NYT.
You don't get a Pulitzer without good reporting.
They aren't given for F**E news, though it HAS happened, but that was just desperate and irresponsible reporting by someone trying to be more than they were and hiding behind protecting their sources!

Not directed at any in particular. Funny how political views constantly create drool out of the mouths of some in an attempt to justify their every thought. Kind of like the drivel many abhor and accuse others of.

My issue is I prefer to believe my lying eyes! Relying on ANYONE to tell me what I saw and heard is, IMO, insane.
I understand the NYT has a long reputation...... and I don’t dispute it EXCEPT to point out that our current world and technology render that reputation at least partially useless. At the very least the zeal to compete with online s**t has lessened all published news.

If you don't witness it, it didn't happen? How does that work?

It's a big world and you are in a tiny state that many Americans don't even realize is part of this country. How are you supposed to see or hear more than a tiny piece of it.

Interesting that people with a lot of exposure to life are (according to you at least) overwhelmingly liberal. I'm pretty sure there is a lesson to be learned there. I'm also pretty sure you won't get it.

You continue to be a smug jerk. When I hear/read something, especially if interesting or controversial and involving something said or occurred, I try to find the video, etc.

Not really a very hard concept, thom, though understand you prefer to just have your preferred progressive source feed it to you word by word,

Yeah, most don’t know that Illinois, and Chiraq, are in the U.S.

You really are a smug, and uninformed, jerk, thom.

“The Wall Street Journal bias rating for its news section, unlike Wall Street Journal opinion pages, is center. This bias rating of center is the result of the AllSides Bias Rating™ system. These results were confirmed by later blind studies and other sources. The results of one of our blind studies is shown here: (See more explanation of the bias survey results here)”

I think almost everybody knows Chicago and Illinois are part of the US. I've read of more than one survey that has found that Americans think New Mexico is part of Mexico. Not a slight on my part, just honest information. I don't know which you detest most, honest or information.

How is that not what you said? I can't know what you intend. I can only know what you post.
