[robbedvoter]

Some here still believe NY Times somehow "protects" Hillary, but the truth is:

It's kind of striking that Maureen Dowd's last four columns in a row, and two of Frank Rich's last three, all bashed Hillary. I mean, the duo has gotten so utterly predictable that even The Times's editors must be dimly aware of it.

It's really not an overstatement to say that their columns at this point read as if the two -- who have a long journalistic history together -- are just writing for each othe

1. Many progressives dislike Maureen Dowd.

She shits on Democrats all of the time.

[Johnny__Motown]

3. she shits on Bush lots lots more, maybe she is just honest about her point of view

[JimGinPA]

2. You Gotta Admit, Hillary Gives Them Plenty To Write About nt

6. Yep, if I was a columnist

I'd likely write about nothing but until Hillary was out.

11. Riiiight! Clenis always did it!

[high density]

4. Krugman is doing all he can to offset them I guess

They're op-ed columnists. They can choose what they want to write about and it's going to be their opinion. That's what they're being paid to do.

12. No kidding? because he does honest economic analysis - Saying her plan

is only marginally better than yours - how is this "offsetting" pure venom?

[sloppyjoe25s]

5. you may not like her point of view

but her columns are generally quite funny and entertaining...

[MannyGoldstein]

7. Sadly, The Times Endorsed Clinton

But the op-ed folks are permitted to have independent thoughts - just like Fox news, no?

[gaspee]

8. shocking, eh?

Not. Biased doesn't even begin to cover it with her.

[Barack_America]

9. And Krugman?

Let's be fair here.

[robbedvoter]

13. Yeah - let's. Krugman is fair - hardly a Hillary loyalist. Just fair.

Now. reading this reactions I understand how freepers think the media is 'librul" and "unfair" to W. When you're coddled - it's never enough, ain't it?

10. Perhaps these OP-ED columnists don't like her.

I'm just sayin'... :shrug:
