Last one I actually read was really out there. This was when Bush was trying to solve the illegal immigration problem and most of his proposals were pretty liberal by conservative standards, in fact many libs loved them but the Ole Gray Lady had a problem with something or other, actually called his whole package right-wing or something so ever since then I just stay away.
Here's the problem with newspaper editorials in general and I don't care if they're coming from the New York Post or the LA Times. These editors have such an air of inflated self-importance that they feel they have to pronounce every single day when the average reader may not give a flying f**k what they think. You know what I'd like to see? a newspaper that just gives the news, no editorials whatsoever, hell get rid of the whole op-ed page while we're at it too. Rich Lowry writes so much but do I really care?
What's worse is when their bias creeps into the so-called "news" sections of the paper. At least in the Opinion section they are being honest about their intentions.
I hope you're right Beth. You know there are times when I buy the Sunday New York Post and I'm scanning through real quick after work and there's this and there's that but there's nothing really in it worth the cost and others will say the same thing, "there wasn't anything in the paper today." They'll pluck up some topic from somewhere, God knows where and you're like how does this impact my life? They had an article a few weeks back about the making of The French Connection, director William Friedkin actually had the car speed through real traffic to make that classic car chase, stuff like that I find interesting.
I know, their biases are at least up front in the Op-Ed section but just the same I'm tired of that too. Michelle Malkin has written many a fine article on many an important topic but her writing has the feel of being a team player, us vs. them and them be evil. I mean everybody should grow up already and there's that chubby girl Maggie Gallagher, she writes ok but sometimes I don't know what her point is.
I get more from the Internet lately and as my profile says one of my hobbies is internet sleuthing as I call it. I've discovered a few things on my own out there in cyberspace that the msm never pick up on. The msm may be biased but even worse they're BORING.
I love simple solutions.

ReplyDeleteNewspapers are going to be a thing of the past soon anyway.

ReplyDeleteWhen cable TV and the Internet are 24/7 and can cater to your interests, it's a wonder to me that newspapers are still around right now!
