Norah: WaPo, NY Times The 'No Labels' Of The Media
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

What would be worse: if Norah actually believes it--or if she doesn't?

Norah O'Donnell has claimed that the Washington Post and the New York Times provide straight-up information, without bias, of the sort that would be appealing to members of the putatively non-partisan "No Labels" group.

Norah's mind-boggling assertion came on today's Morning Joe during a discussion of AOL's acquisition of HuffPo for $315 million. Reacting to indications that Arianna Huffington may be be guiding her creation toward the center and away from its leftist roots, WaPo's Jonathan Capehart argued the move made sense on the theory that people such as those at No Labels are hungry for straight-up reporting. That's when Norah broke in to claim that such unbiased reporting is already being provided by, yup, WaPa and the Times.

“There is no use trying,” Alice says. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” says the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes, I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”

"Through the looking glass", Lewis Carrol

She's a looker but someone must have bonked her brains out somewhere in the past. Oh...pretty lights.

I thought it was “There are 10 types of people: Those who understand binary and those who do not.”

The NY Times and L.A. Times smears the right even in their automobile, cooking, movie, fashion and theater reviews!

Has she ever seen:
Newsbusters.org
Timeswatch.org
MRC.org

I doubt it.

Try to deny bias after reading them for just a week.

WayneS: It’s sort of like the statement: “There are only two kinds of people in the world: those who divide people in to two different kinds of people, and those who don’t”

Colonel_Flagg: Actually, there are three kinds of people: those who understand math and those who don't. :)

Actually, there are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who do not.

She doesn’t have to be. She’s good-looking

Right. And you parrot almost the exact words that Chris Matthews did a few years back, as he swooned over her pretty face. Wish you'd seen that...if you had, you might realize how ridiculous you sound.
