Fancy garbage is still garbage.

What really sets the Times apart is its ability to dig in deeply to events and issues that really matter ? and not necessarily in New York. International reporting, national reporting, business and politics.

They stopped being a news source years ago, they push forth their unabashed far left view.

But opinion pages are opinion pages, and ''balanced opinion page'' is an oxymoron. So let's move elsewhere.
...
On the Arts & Leisure front page every week, columnist Frank Rich slices up President Bush, Mel Gibson, John Ashcroft and other paladins of the right in prose as uncompromising as Paul Krugman's or Maureen Dowd's.
...
In the Sunday Styles section, there are gay wedding announcements, of course, but also downtown sex clubs and T-shirts bearing the slogan, ''I'm afraid of Americans.''
...
The front page of the Metro section has featured a long piece best described by its subhead, ''Cross-Dressers Gladly Pay to Get in Touch with Their Feminine Side.''
...
But it's one thing to make the paper's pages a congenial home for editorial polemicists, conceptual artists, the fashion-forward or other like-minded souls (European papers, aligned with specific political parties, have been doing it for centuries), and quite another to tell only the side of the story your co-religionists wish to hear.


It's just garbage. You can't find an unbiased news report in it, somehow, some way, it will push or promote the left side of the spectrum. This is not just a NYT's phenomenon. The list of dying newspapers in this country is littered by they ones that threw themselves totally into agenda pushing, and now that Obama is elected, nobody cares anymore for the one sided slant. If they survive until 2011, they will see a spike as everyone jumps on the bandwagon again, but serious journalism is dead and gone at the NYTs.
