I wasn't terribly political, but I paid some attention to their news coverage. One of the first things that turned me into a political person was that I noticed that Israel would do a lot of good and reasonable things, and the Palestinians would do a lot of terrible and unreasonable things, and the NYT weas always 100% against Israel and 100% in support of the Palestinians. And I said, "What the heck is that all about?"
Then I realized that I has been reading the NYT because I cared about the culture of the West, and the NYT was actively trying to destroy Western Civilization. I woke up fast after that hit me.
Great tag line.
