The NYT Is Not A Liberal Paper

Get that through your head. It's a well written paper. It is liberal on gay rights and women's rights and some other areas, yes. But above all the NYT is the voice of the wealthy establishment. The more enlightened wing of the establishment perhaps, but the establishment all the same.  And when it comes tax policy and foreign adventures, the NYT is far from progressive.  It's no surprise that the Times would try to sandbag the first viable progressive Mayoral candidate in twenty years. The owners of the NYT care more about low taxes than pre-k for the hoi polloi. 

Hilariously, the New York Times Tries to Smear Bill de Blasio and Now Everybody Like Him Even Better

"Maybe the Pope will be the next to endorse Bill de Blasio for Mayor of New York, now that the New York Times, in an amusingly bungled attempt to depict a young de Blasio as possibly a radical, ends up makes him sound like a saint. People we've spoken to about the article "exposing" de Blasio's early volunteer work with a Catholic social justice organization in Nicaragua said it made them like de Blasio even more than they had before. What a guy! "
