I am kinda with August here. Outside of Frank Rich, the times editorials are left leaning. Though sometimes they are true, they still have a bias.
The rest of the NY times is the best journalism you can find, just avoid the editorials!:DL
Take it from someone who gets it delivered to his house.

man-hating != feminist != lesbian
I fear no woman with a strong opinion, but I can't stand prejudices on grounds of sex either, against both sexes.
You probably read more op-pieces by Down than me, but I couldn't find much from her that lets me fear for my balls.
And calling Al Gore "feminized and diversified and ecologically correct that he's practically lactating" doesn't sound too feminist/PC to me :O:

The same goes the other way around, for example Ann Coulter follows the same path, just with opposite colors. Bimbo statements for provocation, profit and press. |
