Reply #68: Why do you believe that the NYT is liberal?

[Crunchy Frog]

Do you know anything about Judith Miller and her role in building up the phoney case for war in Iraq, and her phoney reports concerning WMDs? If you don't, I would advise you to look into it.

The NYT, just like the rest of the corporate media, has not been doing its job of reporting the facts accurately and impartially, and of holding those in power accountable. That's the absolute minimum of what a "liberal" newspaper, or indeed any reputable newspaper should be doing.

They certainly do repeat Rovian and neocon talking points, in an uncritical fashion. We need to get over this myth that there's a "liberal media" out there. Apart from some small independent publications, there just isn't.
