I might be inclined to believe the New York Times is liberal from what I have read in books by Ann Coulter and others. Except those books are filled with lies, so many of them that I have no reason to believe them.

NYT's editorials may lean a little bit liberal, but at least they aren't totally idiodic editorials, as those placed in the Wall Street Journal, which is a clearly conservative paper. Also, the readers of the NYT are most likely Liberals, and the paper has to sell. Any liberalness shown by the Times of New York is nothing compared to the Conservativeness shown by the Times of Washington.

The WT allows their mamager, a die-hard conservative Wes Pruden, to add in stuff to any article he chooses, yet keep it under the reporter's name. He frequently slanders liberals, but under names of reporters who haven't even at the event.

How can you say the media has a right-wing bias?Huh

NPR, CNN,  NBC, ABC, CBS

The LA Times, Washington Post, NY Times

Newsweek, Time, Moveon.org

Conservatives only control Fox News and Talk Radio

Moveon.org, duh. georgewbush.com is biased too.

How is Newsweek biased- George Will writes for him.

CNN is not baised, they are actually fair.

Conservatives also control the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, etc. 58% of papers endorsed Bush last time. In 2000 56% of Gore stories were negative compared with only 49% for Bush.

Moveon.org should have its name changed to Sedition.org.

No, it's name is perfectly fine, and I am proud to say I have donated many dollars to the organization.

Akno, did you know these nuts hate America?

How the heck do they hate America? They are attempting to move it forward. They hate Bush. And don't bring up the Hitler/Bush ad. That was made by a independent group and submitted in an ad contest to Moveon.

And sites they link to claim that Bush knew about 9/11 or plotted it.

If www.rnc.org was linked to www.kkk.com would you be raising hell or saying, "The RNC has nothing to do with the KKK?"

They link to liberal sites and some liberal sites have conspiracy theories. Big deal. It's not like Moveon links to www.killandlynchppl.com or www.bushissatan.com or something like that. If RNC directly was linked to the KKK website, I'd have some questions.

Akno21,

Perhaps you would be good enough to post some of the "alleged lies" that Ann Coulter published in her book "Slander"

And if Coulter lied, I suppose Bernard Goldberg did as well?

I'd be honored:
Coulter says: "The day after Dale Earnhardt died during the Daytona 500, nearly every major newspaper mentioned it on the first page. It took the New York Times two days to deem Earnhardt's death sufficent enough to put on the front page"
He died Feb 18, 2001. On Feb. 19, 2001, it WAS on the front page- you can look it up.

She lied about her age, either in Connecticut or DC, because the ages on the liscenes are different.

She also says "Liberals hate America, Liberals hate society, and Liberal hate all religions except for Islam". Now, if that's not total BS, I don't know what is.

She says "For decades TNYT had allowed loose associations between Nazis and Christians to be made in its pages. Statements like Did Nazi Crimes draw on Christian tradition and the church is co-responsible for the Holocaust."

The first one was from a Times reviwer, Paul Berman, who was framing the question asked by the book, which was about a 400 year-old play in Bavaria that portrays Jews as hateful and evil. The 2nd is a quote of a quote from an article entitled "John Paul's Jewish Dilemma" The writer is quoting a critic of the Church.

I have more if you want them.
