The Virginia Pilot is only one of many papers that thinks it is more important to push its own political agenda, into the face of and despite the community it supposedly serves, than it is to report the news accurately. It, too, will discover: BIAS = LAYOFFS.

This is but further corroboration of what I began, in the early 90's, calling the NYTimes Rule: If one believes the exact opposite of anything* reported in the Times, one's ability to analyse facts and make correct decisions will increase exponentially.

* The Rule formerly allowed exceptions for two areas in which the Times actually reported facts: stock market closing prices and final scores of sporting events. However, as the NYT no longer publishes complete market results, and sports scores are, in the wider scheme of things, completely irrelevant, the cognizable truth of anything published in the paper has approached zero.
