Somehow, we managed to get a copy of The NY Times Journalistic Credo:

1. Capitalism creates oppression but government creates opportunity.

2. Traditional gender roles are artificial but feminism and homosexuality are government-protected lifestyles.

3. Self-esteem is paramount; government must undertake to guarantee each citizen-victim self-esteem.

4. The ACLU is good, because destroying religion and silencing believers are protected by the Constitution and the First Amendment; The NRA is bad because it defends the Constitution;

5. Standardized IQ tests are racist; racial quotas and affirmative action are not.

6. Conservatives are racists; everybody knows that black people can't make it on their own without big-buck government assistance programs, Tolerant And Compassionate, Color-Coded Knee-Jerk Liberals, and Big Media to proselytize the message 24/7.
