October 14th, 2011 2:55 PM
Double standards on story placement in the New York Times?

October 14th, 2011 8:39 AM
Climate Wire, an activist environmental journalism outlet that supplies content for the New York Times website, has the standard issue pro-regulation, anti-free-market bias one would expect.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman’s Tuesday morning blog post no doubt left his hordes of leftist fans bereft: “Why I’m Not In Zuccotti Park.” That’s the space in Lower Manhattan that’s been occupied by the loose affiliation of leftist Wall Street protesters for four weeks running.

Bozell Column: Protesters Occupy the Liberal Media
October 11th, 2011 9:33 PM
When the Tea Party movement erupted in the spring of 2009, the media elites dismissed them as corporate-generated “Astroturf” noise. They found them barely worth covering, even to besmirch them.
But when the “Occupy Wall Street” protests began on September 17, the liberal media was quickly bombarded with complaints from the Left that the media were ignoring this massive “news” story. NPR…
Former NYTimes Editor Bill Keller Slams 'Doofus' Rick Perry
October 11th, 2011 4:42 PM

Sunday Is for Celebrating 'Occupy Wall Street' Lefties at the NY Times
October 10th, 2011 5:46 PM
From the editorial page to the news pages to a page of graphic design, the spreading leftist protest known as Occupy Wall Street occupied major swathes of Sunday’s New York Times, and the mood was celebratory – at last the left wing (or as the Times puts it, “populist message”) is off the mat and fighting back.
