The MSM in this country continues to prove everyday that their liberal bias is strong. This time it's The New York Times which has an article up with the headline:

A G.O.P. Leader Tightly Bound to Lobbyists

The article suggests that Boehner has a disturbing level of ties to “lobbyist friends.”

Mr. Boehner’s ties seem especially deep

But hey....did you know?

• Nancy Pelosi has raised almost twice as much money from lobbyists this election as Boehner has?
• At least 18 House Democrats have raised more lobbyist cash this election than Boehner has.
• Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid have pocketed more lobbyist cash in the past 18 months than Boehner has raised in the past 6 elections, combined?

~~~

...What if we tried to use facts and data, rather than the reporter’s impression, to measure Boehner’s lobbyist ties against those of other politicians.

Let’s start with campaign contributions. The Times writes:

[Lobbyists] have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns

Here’s what they mean: from 1999 until today, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Boehner has raised $299,490 from lobbyists.

For comparison, Harry Reid, Blanche Lincoln, and Chuck Schumer have each raised more money from lobbyists in this cycle alone.

The New York Times? Are they still in business?

[DManA]

Kinda. Fired all their reporters and outsourced all writing to Obama administration hacks.

Are they still in business?

And the news is?

They’ve latched onto Boehner as this year’s Satan and they won’t let go. You can bet there will be some October Surprise coming very soon.

You can bet there will be some October Surprise coming very soon.

Nov elections have been cancelled, until the Islamofacist mess settles down - cannot risk inflaming the Islamos.

Where is the immediate response???? Waiting.... Birds chirping????? Where is Michael Steele, that worm

[TexasCajun]

And where is the list of lobbyist hired by Imam Obamah after stating he would not hire any?

Oh, he get's a waiver!

Waiver!

Yep, another waiver.

Waiver.....

The sun came up this morning...the New York Times Prints Biased & Unethical Hit Piece On Republican.

All 250 readers of NYT approve.

And I question the "neutral" Republican figure.

[oh8eleven]

Since the only ones who read the NYT are raving,
lunatic, lefties, WTH cares what they print.

[tcrlaf]

The Democrats are trying to isolate Boehner as a pawn of “THE EVIL RICH!”.

PROBLEM: Thanks to the Democrats friends in the Major Media never covering Boehner’s responses to Democrat outrages, NO ONE KNOWS WHO HE IS, except political junkies.

So, they have a problem, and are putting him on the Front Page of the NYT to build his name recognition, with negative stories.
This will not be the last you see.

@ first, I thought this was SATIRE ...NYT guilty of bias.....NEVER!
then I realized it was an factual account.
thanks, for the post.

NYT has been the Democrat house organ for a long while now

[JennysCool]

They’ve latched onto Boehner as this year’s Satan and they won’t let go. You can bet there will be some October Surprise coming very soon.

Nope. I think their quiver is empty if they have to work insanely hard to demonize a man the vast majority of the American public has never heard of.

Doesn't this headline say the same thing twice?

New York Times IS Biased & Unethical Hit Piece On Republican (Fill in the blank)

There - fixed it.

[CajunConservative]

How many years has he been serving his congressional district? It’s kind of a stupid attack to be honest. Like his constituents don’t know who he is already. He isn’t even on a statewide ballot, just his congressional district.

[frithguild]

And I question the "neutral" Republican figure.

Stockholm Syndrome

[Deb]

No one ever heard of Rev. Terry Jones until the Left needed a villain to paint the country as "Islamophobic". No one ever heard of Newt till the Marxist media dumped 100% negative news coverage on him. Or Bob Packwood. Joe Barton. General McCrystal. A simple monk named Rasputin.

When the Left needs a face of evil, they create one.
