Biased? LOL that's an understatement if there ever was one. How do you spell left wing propaganda?

You didn't answer my question, though. To you, who is an objective news source?
There is not, Le Roi, an objective news source. Fox is the only conservative news source on television- the rest are liberal. There are very few, if any, conservative news papers in the US. The WSJ is probably considered conservative, but every Gannett owned news paper (which is damn near all of them in the US) is liberal. The Chicago Tribune, LA Times, and NYT is liberal.
Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and Michael Savage are conservative on radio.

I guess the big difference between you and I is that I actually have some touch with reality and can tell who is liberal and who is conservative. You are so far to the left that you can no longer see the center and any semblence of rationality. That is a perpetual problem with liberals.

PS- "The Economist" is liberal- very much so. Of course, it is Eurocentric, given its publication source, but it is VERY anti-conservative. Again, you really do not subscribe and obviously have never read it.

These are just your opinions. Do you have any facts on the matter? The Nation is a liberal paper. Most of the other papers are far to the right of the nation towards the center. Weekly standard is far to the right. JMO

The Chicago Tribune is the paper that usually endorses Republican (key word: usually) candidates, and has more (key word: more) conservative editorials. The Chicago Sun-Times usually endorses Democrats, and has more liberal editorials.

You can get your jollies by watching Fox or reading right-wing publications. What's the problem? You certainly don't want multiple views silenced - that would be "un-American".

There are some that would be delighted to have any other point of view besides their own stifled and silenced forever.
One can only suppose that sort is the same kind that didnt play nicely in the sandbox with the other children.

Lightbulb Take a deep breath, everyone...

The fact is that The New York Times is America's flagship newspaper.

Some posters are acting as though the Time's opinion/editorial page is the entire paper. That's far from the case. The Times is pretty much the standard for print journalism. Their reporting on many incidents/events/issues is as good as it gets.

If you're upset over a column on their op-ed page, relax. You can still tune in to get your daily instructions from Glen Beck.

Do you read this forum? Who is it that's always bitching about Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck?
