44. Part of the NYT stuff regarding Hillary
Sat Jun 17, 2017, 07:58 AM
Jun 2017

was due to the fact that she was a U.S. Senator from NY and she and Bill currently live in NY, so they were going to put them under the microscope. They have done far worse over the past 40 years with Drumpf and his family just because Drumpf has always been there since birth.

Despite the hullaboo from the RW media about the "librrrruuuuullll New York Times", many of its columnists are not "liberal" (and we all know about the whole Judith Miller fiasco). I.e., they are not "Mother Jones" or "The Nation", and they are certainly NOT their tabloid counterpart the "New York Daily News"! But they are also not Murdoch's rags - both the "Wall Street Journal" or "New York Post". So IMHO, they are more center to center-left.

I so wished that Ted Turner would take back CNN because what it became after he sold it, was a disgrace. They are going through some soul-searching, but much of what they and M$NBC have been doing is chasing the Faux Snooze juggernaut - and that was because Faux made sure that they appeared on every cable package in existence - whether for consumers or for businesses (including hotels, restaurants, bars, gyms, airports, retail outlets). M$NBC never had anywhere near that type of proliferation when they were tilted to the left, so instead of trying to be in more places, they decided to throw the "liberal" baby out with the bathwater and go for the RW spin, still not understanding that the station is STILL not available "everywhere". The fact that Rachel gets the ratings she does when only on a fraction of the outlets that Faux is on, is pretty significant.
