The NY Times Is Relentlessly Biased Against Trump

An astonishing piece appeared in the New York Times (NYT) recently.  It reported a fierce bias in the Times’s coverage of politics and current affairs, most notably when it comes to Donald Trump.  The bias turns up not just in the opinion pages but in the News, reports Liz Spayd, the new “public editor,” a position once called the ombudsman.

But the surprise does not end there.  Spayd’s report is based on letters from liberal readers, which are filling her inbox to overflowing.  Here are some examples that she cites:

“You’ve lost a subscriber because of your relentless bias against Trump — and I’m not even a Republican,” writes an Arizonan.

“I never thought I’d see the day when I, as a liberal, would start getting so frustrated with the one-sided reporting that I would start hopping over to the Fox News webpage to read an article and get the rest of the story that the NYT refused to publish,” writes a woman from California. were on our way to a war which our Elite had decided upon.  (Judith Miller eventually was the sacrificial lamb when that story and its origins in Dick Cheney’s office became known.  But the co-author, Michael R. Gordon, continues as the “chief military correspondent” for the Times, and the editors in charge have never been punished.)

It seems that the situation has got worse with the rise of Trump who endangers the Imperium’s quest for world domination by seeking to “get along” with Russia and China.  Once Trump took that stance, the vitriol and vituperation became a daily feature in the Times.  Indeed their columnist Timothy Egan seems to write about little else these days.  Only Maureen Dowd provides occasional timid relief, daring to point out that Trump “talks to the press,” a dig at Hillary who does not.  (Clinton has not had so much as a single press conference in almost a year. )

I know that many Times readers now seek out Fox, just like the letter writer quoted above.  And many also turn to Breitbart and the Drudge Report as well as RT and China Daily.  Even when the Times reports some actual facts, it reports only selected ones (A half-truth is a full lie.) or buries them in a narrative that neutralizes them.

More Times readers should recognize that they are being taken for a ride. And the should stop being so damned cocksure and snooty about their “knowledge.”  They often look more foolish than they might think.
