Liberal Media Bias charge against NY Times (LOL)

[Liability]

The executive editor of the New York Times is disputing an accusation of liberal bias made by her very own public editor, Arthur Brisbane.

In his final column for the Times, Brisbane wrote that his fellow staffers "share a kind of political and cultural progressivism" that "virtually bleeds through the fabric of The Times." Brisbane even argued that Times reporters covered some liberal causes, like gay marriage and the Occupy movement, "more like causes than news subjects."

But Times executive editor Jill Abramson says she disagrees with Brisbane's "sweeping conclusions."

"In our newsroom we are always conscious that the way we view an issue in New York is not necessarily the way it is viewed in the rest of the country or world. I disagree with Mr. Brisbane's sweeping conclusions," Abramson told POLITICO Saturday night.

"I agree with another past public editor, Dan Okrent, and my predecessor as executive editor, Bill Keller, that in covering some social and cultural issues, the Times sometimes reflects its urban and cosmopolitan base," she continued. * * * *

So the NY Times doesn't agree with the NY Times about its own bias.

Officially.

The only people who believe the denial are those who complain that the NYT is a conservative rag.

Their opinions are safely discarded as worthless.

Isn't it obvious?

Liberal bias in academia

Everyone should oppose this kind of discrimination and ideological conformity.

Those who are afraid of conflicting ideas applaud it.
