Kesher Talk

Safire Times: Nah, does not have a great ring to it. Besides, New Yorkers would get all freaky if they did not have a good lefty newspaper -- and while Safire is not a good conservative, I don't think all-Safire-all-the-time would sell very well.

The real problem is not in the opinion pages. A paper's biases come out in the "news" articles and in deciding what gets covered, when, how prominently, and with what headline. Also prone to bias are the "analysis" pieces, frequently run on the front page, which are opinion dressed up as hard news.
