The fact that Fox channels GOP talking points like Madame effing Blavatsky is disheartening. I would find that obnoxious in a "liberal" or "mainstream" paper.
Any ideological tendency might be worth hearing if the source shows some independent thought and willingness to look at evidence. What's the point however if they replace their mission of gathering and analyzing evidence with the job of helping to rule the country. I don't read the Times so I can't comment but its disrepute seems to reach beyond the ideological bias (I don't think much of Christian Science - apologies in advance - but people generally don't doubt CSM's credibiility, and you can make the same argument about WSJ or the Economist on political lines).

The problems are not that every reporter is biased, in fact there are very good news reporters in both organizations. The problems are in how they are managed. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
