Our Reporting Is “Very Cosmopolitan… Which Can Strike Some Readers As Liberal”…

Who does she think she’s fooling? I mean really.....

Jill Abramson of the New York Times denied that her newspaper has a liberal bias during a Monday interview with Marlo Thomas of Huffington Post. Abramson asserted that the Times “reflects a very cosmopolitan, inclusive outlook, which can strike some readers as liberal,” and later claimed that “the news pages are not ideological.”

'Cosmopolitan' wink-wink!

The NYTimes has kept its thumb on the Left/Democrat side of the scale for more than 50 years. So in that sense, nothing's changed.

What has changed is that the NYTimes used to possess an almost cosmic importance in setting the agenda for the national media and for both of the major political parties. Now? … not so much. It hasn't quite gone the way of the dodo, but it's headed in that direction. It's still funny to think how the Times corporate parent paid $1.1 billion for the Boston Globe + some related media-properties in 1993. And then sold them for $70 million in 2013. Seventy-mill is a nice chunk of change, but it's still about a 94% discount compared to $1.1b
