I'll be honest, I've been in the LA Times newsroom and a lot of anti-Bush satire was hanging around. My favorite was the Ann Coulter Action Figure. The New York Times I think is pretty fair. There is a slight liberal bias, but there is a greater liberal bias throughout the New York area. Let's see, the op-ed contributors has only divided 4-3 or so. I don't consider that politically charged.
I never factor in the op-ed pieces when I judge the liberal bias of a paper. What I don't like is how the NYT has put Abu Garaib on its front page 47 (or so) times despite the fact that it has pretty much blown over news-wise. This is politics, pure and simple. Also, It really shouldn't matter where a paper is located. Every news source has a duty to its reader/viewers to provide them with honest, non-biased, and informative news. We need a non-partisan (not conservative) revolution in the journalism world.
Anyway, thanks for that insight on the LA Times' newsroom. I'm not surprised!
