Trump has been beating up the NY Times for years; we don't need people on the left doing it as well.

i'm all for a better way to get media fairness, but we certainly shouldn't sit back and do nothing about it while republicans continue to pressure the media to give them favorable and voluminous coverage.

It’s there to report facts, neutrally.

Blogs are not news reporting outlets; nor for that matter are cable channels that toss around political stuff, whether Fox or MSNBC (or much of CNN).

I think people have forgotten what reporting is, as opposed to opinion and editorializing.
