This post is exclusively for the benefit of anyone who still believes reflexively that the NY Times is the house organ of the Democratic Party in the same way that Fox "News" is for the Republicans.
I know, it should not need to be pointed out, but.......
First, is an Op-Ed piece today by Bill Keller called "Obama's Fault." Keller recognizes the responsibility of the "pigheaded Republican Party," but he also argues that "The large mess we are in is in no small part the result of missed
opportunities and political miscalculation at 1600 Pennsylvania."
Yesterday the Times published an editorial entitled The White House Joins the Cash Grab, the gist of which seems to be that the Democrats have sunk to to the level of the Koch Brothers and the the NRA, and should therefore be condemned. As opposed to the other message about money in politics, and not just during the now-elongated election cycle.
There is also an Op-Ed piece from a couple of days ago by Joe Scarborough ,called Singing the Sequester Soap Opera by Joe Scarborough.
I agree with some parts of all of these opinion pieces and disagree with larger parts, but that is beside the point....which happens to be that there really is a news source that is relatively fair and balanced, and it aint Fox "News."
Oh...and I didn't even mention the article in "The Nation" which accuses Obama of selling federal support for a loan to a (North or South) Carolina energy company for the price of supporting the Inaugural ceremonies.
There is a lot more integrity in the supposed left-wing media than there is on the right.
Just saying.
