Why Readers See The Times as Liberal (Public Editor)
NY Times ^ | JULY 23, 2016 | LIZ SPAYD

Posted on 07/24/2016 3:58:19 AM PDT by Drango

I HAVE been here less than a month, but already I’ve discovered something that surely must be bad for business if your business is running The New York Times. ~snip this perception by many readers strikes me as poison. A paper whose journalism appeals to only half the country has a dangerously severed public mission. ~snip

Oh, I see. She asked her fellow “journalists” if they were liberal and they said “No” so that takes care of that.

Let me guess; because it is glaringly obvious? How’d I do?

Sample comments made to LIZ:
“The NY Times is alienating its independent and open-minded readers, and in doing so, limiting the reach of their message and its possible influence.”

“I never thought I’d see the day when I, as a liberal, would start getting so frustrated with the one-sided reporting that I would start hopping over to the Fox News webpage to read an article and get the rest of the story that the NYT refused to publish,”

“You’ve lost a subscriber because of your relentless bias against Trump - and I’m not even a Republican.”

The “journalists” at The New York Times are not liberals, they are leftists.

side splitting laughter here

So this clown thinks she can get at the issue of the NYT’s liberal biases by simply asking her colleagues if their news coverage is well balanced????

AND, she actually thinks there is any serious question about WHETHER the NYT’s coverage is slanted left????

These clowns let themselves feel so moderate and objective simply because they look at the criticisms they get from the far far left.... “see, the Communist Party USA hates us, so we must be balanced.”

I Imagine a country where the greatest, most powerful newsroom in the free world was viewed not as a voice that speaks to all but as one that has taken sides.

Or has that already happened?

Oh my, that' so dark.

Seriously - this is not an admission. They know they are lefty, and they have their reasons (Paid content.) This is purely for the benefit of their very dumb loyal readers and staff because they have decided they have to 'salt', as they called it, lightly of course, the pages with a few token middle of the road view points to make it look like they are ... diverse.

This is a very, very cynical piece - manipulative to the max. Don't think for a second this is a change in policy. It's a snake rearranging it's scales.

She naively misconstrues the mission of the New York Times as some kind of objective truth thing.

She is in the process of realizing the truth about them, and will likely see that whole left is that way. Kind of like waking up from the matrix.

The Left’s mission is to manipulate public opinion, to advance the power of the Left.

The NY Times’ unique mission is to serve as the official mouthpiece of the Party - disseminating the Party line, as a coordination mechanism for co-conspirators, who must be cautious about speaking openly, lest they be recognized for their deceit.

She completely misses the day to day bias in their reporting.

But I guess at least she senses that something is up—and brings it up.

Note to Liz Spayd: read the latest email releases from Wikileaks on the collusion between the NYTimes and the DNC - including co-hosting DNC fund-raisers.

The NYTimes reporting is biased? Who knew? Shocking. Just shocking.

people see the times as liberal because they hire the kids from schools peddling unchallenged left-wing worldviews, people who think the white imperialist “global north” uniformly and racistly oppresses the “global south,” that gender and sex are different things, that its OK to criticize Christianity and Judaism but not Muslimism, etc.

Is this person really this naive to think the NYT is true media instead an arm of the DNC and the powers that be?

HALF the country, darlin’? Try ten percent or less.

Breaking headline: The New York Times is liberal. In other shocking news, the sun will rise in the east this morning; it will be hot in Phoenix today; the Atlantic Ocean is wet.

At least her article got people to read the bottom of the bird cage paper NYT.

And, silly little girl, you only know about 50% of their bias...the other 50% is what they decide to not cover.

And she acts as though this is something that is a recent development or discovery. How about we ask the victims of Stalin's purges in the 30's that Walter Duranty (winner of a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting) claimed were living peaceful, prosperous lives under Joe Staling. Oh - I guess we can't.

The NYT has been lying, propagandizing and propping up murderous regimes for going on 100 years now. It's time - Die, NYT, Die!!!
