Sorry King, but, by their own admission, the NYT is not now our national newspaper of record, if it ever was. See the NYT Public Editor's column from 4/25/04. The NYT is nothing more than a once great newspaper that has devolved into a liberal propaganda sheet. Not just the editorial page, but the news coverage reflects a liberal bias that cannot be denied. Even the NYT's Public Editor has admitted the same. The AP and its policy of "accountability journalism" is much the same. They both consistently interject their liberal world views and editorializing into what should be straight news coverage.

Nothing the government gives you is free.
