The media Research Center focusses on an analysis of the new York Times reporting and the question is asked, “Is the New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?” … and answered. Even they admit it is. But it’s even more biased than they admit, of course.
That [above question] was the provocative title of Times’ Public Editor Daniel Okrent’s July 25 column. Okrent’s answer to his own question was equally stimulating: “Of course it is.”
However, Okrent insisted in a later column that the Times’ liberalism manifested itself only on hot-button social issues, such as abortion and gay marriage, and that the paper’s political coverage stayed fair and balanced throughout 2004. But Times Watch tracked the paper from the beginning of the year to election eve and found its campaign coverage to be as liberally skewed as its treatment of social issues.
What follows, in roughly chronological order, is a dubious roll call of the 10 worst distortions by the Times from Campaign 2004.
