But I don’t.

They only know what is published.

If they are so biased, then they will continue to lose readership. I don't understand the amount of time that is spent here on things like this. What you are for is far more interesting that what you are against. It's been claimed here that Dems run against while Repubs run for. I don’t see proof of that on here. I read that blogs are going to change things, bring honesty and openess but all I see are a bunch of people on both sides that need their diapers changed. Whines and clichés about the “other side” or impotent chest beating and arrogant brags. The only ones who truly stand up for what they believe and are honest about their intentions are the extremes. The funny thing, or maybe it's terribly sad, but for every post on here that is about the biased media and viciousness of the left and all the negative things about anyone remotely liberal, I get emails or feeds from left wing groups saying pretty much the same word for word, just change the party and names. And everyone thinks they are totally correct and the other side is going to destroy the country, and blah blah blah. What a waste of time and energy. Meanwhile, (all) the candidates just fill the air with sound bites and catchy phrases never saying anything of value that explains what they have to offer. Flush Joe the plumber, BS politics to the extreme, neither side gives a crap about the common citizen of the USA. Flush, yes we can or whatever garbage mantra from the Obama camp. And the saddest thing is that that crap works, no wonder the country is such a mess. If NYT is so evil, why read it?

Confirm to the elites that they are right - moral and just. Also, it paints anyone with an R as an evil horrible person. So when in conversation with such people - you say something positive about Sarah Palin, or Cindy McCain, they will look at you with disdain - you are such a hick, I know the truth, I read it in the paper of record the NYT! I am an informed person - you are simply a boob. Having such articles in the NYT will do two things. Confirm to the elites that they are right – moral and just.
