Norah: WaPo, NY Times The 'No Labels' Of The Media

What would be worse: if Norah actually believes it--or if she doesn't?

Norah O'Donnell has claimed that the Washington Post and the New York Times provide straight-up information, without bias, of the sort that would be appealing to members of the putatively non-partisan "No Labels" group.

Norah's mind-boggling assertion came on today's Morning Joe during a discussion of AOL's acquisition of HuffPo for $315 million. Reacting to indications that Arianna Huffington may be be guiding her creation toward the center and away from its leftist roots, WaPo's Jonathan Capehart argued the move made sense on the theory that people such as those at No Labels are hungry for straight-up reporting. That's when Norah broke in to claim that such unbiased reporting is already being provided by, yup, WaPa and the Times.

She cannot be serious: Norah O’Donnell claims NY Times, Washington Post offer straight-up, unbiased reporting. Ping to Today show list.

[Steely Tom]

Haven't heard much from the "No Labels" folks lately.
Come to think of it, haven't heard much from the "Coffee Party" folks either.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Probably the only two newspapers she reads. She’s a ditz.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

'No labels' is a label.

[screaminsunshine]

Her mind is boggled.

[IronJack]

How often does a liar admit he’s lying? And how wise would you be to believe him if he did?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Norah sounds like she may be a little “slow”.

[Oratam]

Every lib claims the NYT is an unbiased newspaper . . . and they always offer "they were very tough on Clinton after blah blah blah."

The editorial page bleeds onto every other page. Phooey!

[WayneS]

You noticed that, too?

It’s sort of like the statement: “There are only two kinds of people in the world: those who divide people in to two different kinds of people, and those who don’t”

“Come to think of it, haven’t heard much from the “Coffee Party” folks either.”

Kahwa is Arabic for coffee (and the root of ‘coffee’.

Mukha is a city in Yemen, famous for being a major coffee trading center.

The Coffee Party appears to be in Cairo. With a stopover in Sana’a.

This is the new meme of the media left. They are centrist. The right has gone off the rails.

[kbennkc]

She can't even be considered a lib. She is a clueless She-tool.

[ozzymandus]

Leftists always deny being biased. Remember Dan Rather’s constant claims about how honest he was? Liars always claim to be telling the truth. Ever bought a used car? (Apologies in advance to all the used car salesmen who will be outraged at having their honesty questioned)

[EDINVA]

It’s really a shame ole Norah isn’t 1/100th as intelligent as she is pretty.

[Colonel_Flagg]

It’s sort of like the statement: “There are only two kinds of people in the world: those who divide people in to two different kinds of people, and those who don’t”

Actually, there are three kinds of people: those who understand math and those who don't. :)

“She cannot be serious...”

She doesn’t have to be. She’s good-looking.

[IamConservative]

Even the weather forecast is left leaning in the NYT!

[Doc Savage]

Just proves that there were 2 lines: Line one was for those who wanted good looks. Line 2 was for those who wanted smarts. O’Donnell was in Line 1. Arianna was in the bathroom and missed both lines.

[WayneS]

I’ve also heard there are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary numbers, and those who don’t.
