True enough! Both editorialized in favor of war. And no-one is more
responsible for giving voice to Bush & Cheney's lies than the front

page
of
the New York Times, so, yeah, they are indeed very partisan.


BWHAHAHA, you can't be serious. The NYT a mouthpiece for Bush, that's

just
plain stupid. Show me ONE pro-war editorial.


You can look at their editorials from February to April 2003. It's all
there. As far as their front-page coverage, it's remarkable -- and

somehwat
peculiar, don't you think? -- that Condi Rice and Dick Cheney would spend
every Sunday morning talk show trumpeting the librul New York Times

in-depth
weapons reporting to push their drive to war. It's all on record.


Connecticut Democrat Joe Lieberman, who just returned from Iraq, defended
U.S. efforts there in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal and a subsequent news
conference on Capitol Hill, saying the military has "a good plan" for
victory in Iraq, that progress is "visible and practical" and warning that
such progress could be turned back by a premature withdrawal.
But the major media that played up Democratic Rep. John Murtha's call for
withdrawing U.S. troops largely ignored Lieberman's remarks. Neither ABC nor
CBS mentioned the senator in their nightly newscasts while NBC aired a short
sound byte. And The Washington Post, New York Times, and USA Today ran not a
word of Lieberman's praise for U.S. efforts in Iraq.
