Is objectivity of major American dailies a “sham”?

November 15, 2011 by B. Daniel Blatt

“I don’t,” Ben Howe writes in Big Journalism, “read the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune“:

For that matter, I don’t read the closest newspaper to my home, the Charlotte Observer.  I don’t read these rags for a simple reason: I find that the objectivity that is claimed within their pages is a sham.  There are plenty of polls and countless bits of anecdotal evidence and investigations that have shown a liberal bias that overwhelmingly represents the modern newspaper.

I often quip that anything the New York Times publishes about conservatives individuals or institutions must first be verified by a reliable news source.

    Their greatest bias lies not in what they cover, but what they don’t cover.

    For example – in their world, Solyndra (in which the Obama administration urged/ordered a CEO to violate commonly accepted ethics, for the immediate political benefit of the Obama administration in an election) is vastly less important than whether Herman Cain made a few awkward, arguably inappropriate sexual advances that he never followed through on, twenty years ago.

    Also, notice all the MFM outlets not calling for Elena Kagan to recuse herself from hearing the ObamaCare case.

    Note also how the MFM ignored reports of rape, violence, and vandalism at OWS camps for weeks until the Democrat mayors of those cities needed a rationale to move in and clear out the camps.
