The left yammers on ad nauseam about Fox News' supposed bias, but seem to have no problem whatsoever with the left leaning bias in other media outlets. The New York Times has been rocked by a series of scandals inolving its lack of journalistic ethics, including a story decrying the plight of a Salvadoran woman supposedly imprisoned for obtaining an abortion. When this turned out to be an utter falsehood (the baby was born alove and the young lady committed infanticide), the Times refused to clarify or retract.
NPR, though I listen to it daily, is no better. All media outlets are entitled to an editorial voice, but a public broadcaster should be held to a slightly higher standard of impartiality. I think their new slogan could be "Daniel Schorr: Hating America since the Hoover Administration".
My question is "Why the double standard from the left?". I guess biases only trouble you when they're not YOUR biases, huh?
