And, then he defends it!

I don't know that he was really defending it. He was exposing the bias and admitting to it, and he noted that other papers with similar ideology were willing to cover the negative side of gay marriage, while the Times wasn't.

Given that the article is appearing in the Sunday "Week in Review" section, I think Okrent deserves some credit for being so blunt and accurate about the Times' bias.

thats why when his time is up, he is out of there. he is a bit too honest.

That must be why he's leaving on vacation!

I don't know that he was really defending it.

He certainly gave enough excuses for the liberalism of the paper and no solutions to correct the bias.

It's funny that Okrent chose to defend the Times only on the topics of gay-marriage, religion, fashion, and gun-control. He completely left out the Times biased view on the war, the presidential race, taxes, and other issues that ACTUALLY matter.

I also don't think he was defending it.

I appreciate what he wrote. It's a first. I guess I don't expect him to respond like we do or to have the perspective we do.

At least it was a serious acknowledgment of reality. His reasoning is a bit enlightening in detail but I guess nothing we didn't already know in concept.

I enjoyed reading it.
But I doubt it'll amount to much.
