The NY Times is much worse than a sleazy tabloid. They are a propaganda arm for anyone and everyone who is an enemy of the United States. Have been for a long time.
Think of the biased coverage given Ariel Sharon and his depiction by the Times during his lawsuit;
the biased coverage against Israel generally (reaching all the way back to the abysmal lack of coverage of the Holocaust — finally mentioning it only on page 27...)
the biased coverage given to any and all Republicans
the biased coverage of race relations (to include Trayvon Martin, Sharpton, the Duke lacrosse team, Ferguson, etc.)
The paper of record? We should have woken up long ago...
