I think no, to be fair, that AOQ is not trolling for attention but rather calling attention to the irony of the quoted passage. Let’s be honest here: FOX is just as guilty of bias as the NYT.

We need to strart adding to the menu “Radical bias” There are far too many very dangerous folks in the spotlight who are trying to pass themselves off as Liberals.
For example, does anyone think Van Jones is a Liberal? The only thing about him that would be liberal, would be the liberal use of drastic methods to radicalize America.

Dear Professor G:Since class is still in session! A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,adored by little statesman and philosophers and divines.With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day—’Ah,so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’—Is it so bad,then,to be misunderstood.’ Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. Ralph Waldo Emerson

- In Oregon and Nevada, Lincoln Strategies — then known as Sproul and Associates — was investigated for destroying Democratic voter registration forms. The Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign paid Sproul $7.4 million for campaign work. [CNN, 10/14/04; KGW News, 10/13/04; East Valley Tribune, 09/07/06]

- In Nevada, people who registered as Democrats with Lincoln Strategies — then known as Sproul and Associates — found their names absent from the voter registration rolls. [Reno Gazette-Journal, 10/29/04]

- During the 2006 midterm elections, Wal-Mart banned Lincoln Strategies for partisan voter registration efforts in Tennessee. The Republican National Committee had hired the firm. [Associated Press, 08/24/06]

- In Arizona, Lincoln Strategies employed a variety of deceptive tactics — including systematically lying about the bill — to push a ballot initiative to eviscerate the state’s clean elections law. [Salon, 10/21/04]

- Lincoln Strategies, then employed by the Republican Party, was behind efforts to place Ralph Nader on the ballot in states such as Arizona. [American Prospect, 06/25/04]

Even former Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT), during a hearing on voter fraud, admitted that “the difference between ACORN and Sproul is that ACORN doesn’t throw away or change registration documents after they have been filled out.”

Thank you for the post Bernie. I have been in a fairly heated online debate with someone about media bias for the last couple of days. He contends that the vast majority of the media is right wing. I supply him with survey numbers, he complains about the source. I give him search engine numbers noting a 3 to 1 liberal media bias. He counters with the argument that it is because of the conservative “echo chamber”. Then he realizes the stupidity of his remark and amends it to “well, 3:1 is still pretty much parity. I show him data concerning media support for Obama. He agrees, and claims that it is because Obama is politically center-right (huh?). I explain that I have worked in the media (newspapers specifically). I quote “Bias”. I quote Cronkite. He contends that we are all making it up. He is a perfect example of how group think not only occurs in closed groups, but is also quite prevalent in the general public.

I guess what Captain said in Cool Hand Luke was true: “Some men you just can’t reach.”

My world may be a little autistic – learn to be patient with folks like me – we are growing in numbers:)

Not only is the deck stacked at the NY Times, they do not know that Right is right and Left is wrong or connotes wrong, in all languages. It is sheer democratic stupidity to believe the Left is Right. The great problem in America is that the half-educated are in charge of the media and the education. The Right stands no chance, it is a downhill slide, at least it will be “no spin” slide.

OK, I understand now. In your world it’s not rude to hijack a thread, but it’s the epitome of rudeness to call attention to it. It’s all clear to me now.
