It is incredible that any paper that purports to be even the least objective, or even worthy of the name, would for even a second, think that a suspected spy's distant relative trumps the fact that the woman actually WORKED for Moseley Braun and other Democrats/causes.

If this doesn't clearly demonstrate the liberal bias of the "mainstream" press, I cannot imagine what would.

"If this doesn't clearly demonstrate the liberal bias of the "mainstream" press, I cannot imagine what would."

They know full well that they are fatally biased. It just suits their (dishonest) purpose to ignore it.

"These newspapers, owned and edited by these men, although free from the repulsive vulgarity of the yellow press, were susceptible to influence by the priviledged interests, and were almost or quite as hostile to manliness as they were to unrefined vice...they favored the removal of tariff on works of art; they favored all the proper (and even more strongly all the improper) movements for international peace and arbitration; in short, they favored all good, and many goody-goody, measures so long as they did not cut deep into social wrong or make demands on National and individual virility. They opposed, or were lukewarm about, efforts to build up the army and the navy, for they were not sensitive concerning National honor; and, above all, they opposed every non-milk-and-water effort, however sane, to change our social and economic system in such a fashion as to substitute the ideal justice towards all for the ideal of kindly charity from the favored few to the possibly grateful many."

You probably aren't from Seattle. That paper is so bad (how bad is it?) that everyone calls it the "Post UNintelligencer". The paper calls themselves "The P I". Everyone else calls it "The P U" because it stinks.

The Post Intelligencer was one of those papers that you would read and burst out laughing at how incredibly they had to twist a story to get a negative Republican spin or a positive RAT spin. I swear if judgement day came and all the RATs went "south" and all the PUBs went "north" the P U headline would be "Bush uses rich oil buddy connections to get special treatment while brave Democrats work to solve the problems of the unfortunate in Hades".
