Now Liberals will have to believe you when you say the Ties is biased. "Hey, it's right there in the Times!"

This is the smartest thing NY Times could do. State the obvious.
OOOF.
The paper of record is biased?...I'm shocked!...;)
I was in New York City over the weekend and saw the ombudsman article in the Sunday edition of the Times. As I read it, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I also read somewhere in another New York paper that legally the Times had to print what the ombudsman wrote -- can't remember now where I saw that. And I don't know if that is true. In any case, I can't imaginge they were happy to publish the piece. I wonder if they'll pay it any heed.
Short list.
I wonder when the Times was the paper of record...really... 1950? 1940? It surely hasn't been since I started high school in 1964.
Wow! Somebody understands the why Fox News, talk radio, etc are so popular and making so much advertising revenue. Also why Drudge and Free Republic have become the new sources of choice.
The Ombudsman we have at the Sacramento Bee is a reporter from the Times. I like him. He is liberal and state such. He also seems to be more fair than any we have had before. He has address the bias in the Bee and did a good job of it. The Ombudsman are independent. I don't think the papers have to print it but they would half to have a really good reason not to such as it contain racial slurs or things of that nature.
James K. Glassman, the author of this piece has done us a great service, as has the new ombudsman for the NYT.
A great piece to send to liberal friends who believe the NYT is God.
Very well and all, but Pinch rambles through life in a myopic delusion that has all the trappings of grandeur a pampered prince can conjure after a lifetime of sheltered exclusivity.
Not much anyone can do without Sulzberger's walls a come tumbling down. No change in heading expected after this well written article.

co-religionists...That's got to sting.
The younger woman who sits next to me reads the NT Times on line. I just asked her, "What would you do if you found out that the NT Times was deeply, habitually dishonest, and knowingly published things that weren't true all the time?"
She said, "I'd be shocked."
Does anybody know of a compilation of resources or links that could help me make that point?
Anybody have a link to the ombudsman's column?
No coincidence in my opinion that it was written right before he took 2 months vacation....
Never mind. Found it:
