The NEW YORK TIMES has outdone itself in providing the Clinton's with space for their campaign. Guess it is normal for left wing rag sheets like the times to flaunt their biased ideas.

The move to put Clinton mania everywhere is the inspiration of the Chinese. By getting Hillary in office they can get inside information on anything. Naturally the conglomerates love the Clinton's so they also help out in plastering pro Clinton trash everywhere. Even Yahoo favors the Clinton's by ignoring Obama's name and making everyone that uses spell check affirm His name. Where Obama ties to IBM amazes me.

As with almost all newspapers, the front page is not available for commercial advertising at any price. If the article about Clinton appears on the front page, it must be because the editors felt it was newsworthy, just as program directors for NBC, CBS and ABC news decide if a lead story on tonight's network news will be about Hillary Clinton or about Mitt Romney. Or, just as Fox "News" decides whether it will give its lead 'story' to a GOP candidate.
I suspect you would have had no problem with the 'Times' running a front-page story on Rudy or Mitt.
Yes, most newspapers - and broadcasters - flaunt their biased ideas. Fox "News" is one of the most blatant propagandists for the Republican party. Rush Limbaugh is the Republicans' most powerful propagandist. The media, in general, is overwhelmingly conservative, with a few notable exceptions (such as the New York Times). -RKO- 12/09/07

RKO has it right on the money.
I disagree that the media are overwhelmingly conservative, though. I think it's fairly balanced between left-leaning media empires and right-leaning ones.
I work in print journalism, and I can tell you unequivocally that it's not possible to "buy" the front page. It's editorial judgment, plain and simple. If you dislike the editorial slant of a newspaper, read a different one-- or even better, read several, to get the complete picture.

Don't know. But everything is about money when it comes to politics. Those with most money win.
