Now we know why the NYT is a ghost of what was once a great newspaper.

American Bridge 21st Century Super PAC Is Hub of Left : Roll Call Politics

In other words, this is just more validation that the NYT is nothing more than Pravda for the left.
You didnt write the post I responded to, so in reality, you dont know what his or her point was.

there are 2 more problems with your argument

The first being the article mentions its source as the Miami Herald and the actual Florida database, Not American Bridge. And I see no where that they even claim the Miami Herald was impartial, let alone American Bridge.

Second, American bridge is not the opposition arm or the Democratic Party anymore than America Rising is the opposition of the Republican Party(they have had articles published by the Times as well as the Post).

American Bridge has never claimed to be anything other than Progressive

And the ability to drive yourself around instead of being either too rich, powerful or old to drive like Hillary? lol.

Also, if that's your concern....then the Kennedy driving track record must have you in the fetal position. lol.

Yep. It may even be better now than it used to be.

Wait for 20 years from now (if either of us are still around) where they will be dragging up texts, tweets etc. from some college kid that is now running for office.

Nobody is going to be electable.

It shows they behave exactly like 90% of drivers do. Hillary has nothing in common with 90% of the people except some basic biology.

2 flaws with your argument

1. The Person I responded to made a false claim that i then debunked by simply reading the article.

Whether im defending the times or not does not change the fact that the person I responded to was wrong.

2. You put forth nothing to negate the fact that News papers, during the primary process, do indeed do this kind of reporting on both sides as I showed when it came to then candidate Obama and his parking tickets.

Next time, debate the issue instead of one liners that add nothing to the discussion.
