The New York Times is among the most liberal papers in the United
States. The paper hasn't endorsed a Republican for president in close
to a century. Its politics are almost always at odds with those of the
Journal. Whether one supports the opinions of the Times' editors or
not, it's a worthy read. It's certainly one of the most complete papers
in the United States, and it provides extensive international news and
numerous human interest features. One might say it's conservative in
its behavior, but certainly not in its politics. The Journal, on the
other hand, does not attempt to provide complete coverage in that its
focus is on financial news. But it does cover the major issues and
takes political positions. The views of its editors are generally quite
conservative, but never in a pedestrian way. As far as I know the
Journal hasn't endorsed a Democratic presidential candidate in my
lifetime, which is a rather long time. As I said, the truth frequently
lies somewhere in between.
