Is it my imagination, or could this Kirkpatrick piece at the
NYT be ever so slightly right-wing biased?
Kerry Urges Alito Filibuster, but His Reception Is Cool
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
January 27, 2006
WASHINGTON, Jan 26 -- Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts could not attend the Senate debate on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. on Thursday. He was in Davos, Switzerland, hobnobbing with international business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum.
My bold highlights. More below.
But late Thursday afternoon, Mr. Kerry began calling fellow Democratic senators in a quixotic, last-minute effort for a filibuster to stop the nomination.
Democrats cringed and Republicans jeered at the awkwardness of his gesture, which almost no one in the Senate expects to succeed.
What do you think? Right-wing bias?
So then I got thinking, there must be some central repository which outlines a strong case for the "traditional media" being right-wing biased. I punched "right-wing media bias" into Google, expecting such a site to come up as the top hit. Alas, here's the result.
[Postscript. Markos is rightly trying to kill off the stupid MSM, favoring the label "traditional media", since we don't want to frame ourselves as non-mainstream.]
