Gosh, do you think such biases could be in effect at the the Old Gray Lady herself?

Contrary to the skewed perceptions of the media, the population of the USA does not care overmuch about media ratings or their skewed reports.

Thank God!

This is the second recent article admitting bias. I think some people at the NYT are starting to wake up to the fact that their blatant liberal bias has hurt the bottom line. Money talks, and I think that maybe they are beginning to see the writing on the wall. When FoxNews shreds the liberal news channels, the money people take notice.

Actually, I read the rest of the article and they go on to deny the bias by claiming that journalists would rather cover a Bush administration than a Kerry one. Therefore, my previous post was incorrect. The NYT still sucks as much as ever. :^)

The only surprise is that the numbers from this poll of "journalists" are so low for Kerry. I always figured closer to the 95% range were Democrats. Whatever. Newspapers are a dying institution, thank God. The sooner they fold and die, the better.

I love how clueless the New York Times is. They think they're objective because a subsample of journalists ONLY favor Kerry by the razor thin 3 to 1 margin.

That is, assuming the reporter actually talked to these people and isn't just making it up ala Jason Blair.

Only the NYT considers this news.

"Bush's religious streak,'' one Florida correspondent said, "would drive me nuts on a desert island."

Imagine that. Bush believes in God. How terrible--how Un-American.

While Kerry (and Clinton before him) profess deep faith, the reporters all know that they are as atheistic as the reporters are. They give them a pass because Democrats need to tell the "little people" that they believe in God in order to get elected.
