I've read better stuff in the British Guardian than I have in most of the big U.S. papers and its staff is slightly to the left of Trotsky. If the staff of the NY Times decides to decline its status as a partner in government and become journalists again, that could change, but I'm sure not holding my breath.
Don’t worry, when Romney wins the New York Slimes will return to “speaking truth to power” and being objective, and reporting on Presidential scandals etc.
