Is the New York Times a Liberal Newspaper? Of course it is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I think it's undeniable that the Times is a liberal paper.
If 'The New York Times' didn't exist, CNN and MSNBC would be a test pattern. 'The Huffington Post' and everything else is predicated on 'The New York Times'. It's a closed circle of information from which Hillary Clinton got all her information - and her confidence.
I absolutely reject that idea that the press is liberal and what it does is liberal. In my view, it's like accusing a doctor of malpractice or a lawyer of malfeasance.
My worry about the New York Times is that it's got the only position as a national elitist general-interest paper. So the network news picks up its cues from the Times. And local papers do too. It has a huge influence. And we'd love to challenge it.
If 'The New York Times' says it, it must be true.
Tabloid news is tabloid news.
I have a liberal definition of news because I think news can be what excites people. I'm not very sanctimonious about what news is and isn't.
News represents another form of advertising, not liberal propaganda.
'The New York Times' is a great newspaper: it is also No Fun.
You actually see liberals checking 'Fox News,' if only to know what the conservatives are thinking. And you're seeing conservatives who venture into liberal sources, just to know what 'The New York Times' is thinking.
