Wait a second Sarah, I defended the NYT for being an excellent newspaper even though I disagree with it's politics. I read it for Arts and Leisure, Science Tuesday, The crosswords, editorials, Metro section, Real estate, but I never read section one. Don't confuse Intelligent with Intellectual. The NYT is very intellectual: they are secular, post-modern, multi-culti, morally relativistic, feminist, pro-choice, democratic, pro-gay, anti-gun,Pro-Castro, pro-UN, etc... So its definately Biased. The Wall street Journal is the most objective source OF FACT BASED news in the US IMHO.

I think the Times' opinion pieces will become increasingly irrelevant as they inevitably become more and more the tool of libspeak. They are a foundation of the ABCNNBCBS media, often being the source for the topics the liberal television uses as the basis for their stories. To them, the Times is the newspaper.
I think that the Times, much like the dominance of ABCNNBCBS, is going into eclipse. The future belongs to more conservative papers like WSJ or Washington Times who have made very substantial gains in opinion and political reporting just as Fox News has done. Even more significant is the trend toward people seeking out news sources online, ones which are more easily tailored to their interests and which are cheaper or free to access.
So, actually, the gayer the Times is, the better I like it. It just means they'll make the fatal mistake of marching off into Leftist irrelevancy all that sooner. It's already pretty obvious how disconnected they are from America in general.
