New York Times

If you want a near perfect encapsulation of how the Obama campaign is leaning on incompetent partisans masquerading as "independent" media fact checking organizations to do their dirty work, I strongly encourage you to read today's article in the New York Times, "Obama Team Sharpens Attacks on Rivals’ Character." While the article is a far too credulous regarding the fact checker response to Paul R

Here's the front page for the New York Times's national edition, the day after Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention:

Peter Roskam, the Illinois Republican congressman and deputy majority whip, said the front page makes Ryan look like the "son of Satan."

"It's the biggest day of his life, and this how the New York Times depicts it?" Roskam told THE WEEKLY STANDARD here in Tampa.

Media bias consists of more than partial quotes, deliberate misreporting, and economy with the truth. Doubt that, and read the New York Times last week, reporting—on page one—“U.S. Reliance on Saudi Oil Goes Back Up: Security Concerns Rise With Gulf Imports.” If you think this has anything to do with the president’s decision to veto the Keystone Pipeline, think again, or look for a more balance report.

When the I.R.S. and New York Times effect a merger, beware: truth suffers. On Saturday we were treated to this headline, strapped across the top of page one of the business section of our newspaper of record, “In Superrich, Clues to What Might Be in Romney’s Return.”

Wednesday was Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, and Americans flocked to the fast food restaurant in response to criticism of COO Dan Cathy's opposition to same-sex marriage (as well as threats from the mayors of some major cities

Breaking news from the New York Times (emphasis mine):

Plenty of New York liberal and Democrats, from former mayor Ed Koch to Congressmen Steve Israel and Jerry Nadler to even the New York Times editorial staff, have condemned Democratic congressional candidate Charles Barron for his history of racist and anti-Israel statements.

Controversial New York City councilman Charles Barron may be getting closer to winning the Democratic nomination to Congress in New York's Eighth District next Tuesday. The New York Times reports:

President Obama at a press conference this morning insisted that high-level national security leaks are not coming from the White House. "The notion that my White House would purposefully release classified information is offensive," President Obama said. 

But a Republican memo from the Senate Republican Policy Committee maintains that either the president or the New York Times is wrong.

I really don't know where the editors at Politico get off suggesting that the Washington Post and New York Times might be out to get Mitt Romney. I mean, who wouldn't knock on doors in La Jolla, California and write a politically loaded story where his neighbors sound off with quotes like this:

This morning Politico made the worst mistake a mainstream media outlet can make—acknowledging the blindingly obvious truth there is a pronounced media bias against Republicans, specifically Mitt Romney. Predictably, there has been some circling of the wagons. Woe be unto us if the the defenseless Washington Post and New York Times credibility erodes to the point where the center-left has less of an information stranglehold.

According to Politico, “Obama’s exasperation with modern journalism, like his contempt for modern politics, is rooted in his disappointment with the current state of its practitioners…”
