If you have to say it......

From the "if you have to say it, it's probably not true department"..........

I've been waiting all week for them to send notes about last Sunday's New York Times, considered by them to be the worst example of a liberal press.

Why?

There was lots of criticism of the president and his administration in the paper's coverage that day.

If you only read the opinion section you would have seen the likes of Frank Rich taking wide swipes at President Obama for his decision to send 30,000 new troops to Afghanistan.

Wrote Rich, "Obama's speech, for all its thoughtfulness and sporadic eloquence, was a failure at its central mission. On its own terms, as both policy and rhetoric, it didn't make the case for escalating our involvement in Afghanistan. It's doubtful that the president's words moved the needle of public opinion wildly in any direction for a country that has tuned out Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq alike while panicking about where the next job is coming from."

This clown takes one weekend issue of the Times and proclaims it neutral?

For this idiot's information, it's not just the op-ed sections that make a medium non partisan, it's the "news" sections.

For instance, I think covering an organization rampant with charges of voter fraud would be something a neutral news medium might cover.

Or how about an education czar who at one time spoke to young people about "fisting". I think that might be newsworthy.

Or maybe several congressman who manage to have vacation properties outside the continental US on paltry congressional salaries. I think that would be worthy of some ink.

But what do I know.
