Yesterday Brit compared the coverage in various papers. The NYT was doing the worst job - having the least amount of coverage on the front page.

Cut the NYT's a break....they have more important things to cover.....

The responsibilty of reporting "all of the NON-NEWS fit to print" day after day after day after day is an overwhelming responsibility.

The Slimes' coverage has been absolutely disgraceful.

They devoted more front page space to the Ray Charles obituary article (3 columns) than the Reagan obituary article (1 column). They have put a news analysis hit piece on the Reagan legacy masquerading as news on their front page today and gossip about which Reagan appointees weren't being invited to the funeral masquerading as news on their front page yesterday... instead of a "just-the-facts" article about the funeral ceremonies. The pictures they have chosen for their front page have usually been group shots, depersonalizing the event. Their editorials and op-ed columnists (especially Krugman) have been disgraceful, attacking the Reagan legacy before he is in his grave. And they are blatantly using their editorials and "news" articles to draw parallels between President Reagan and Senator Kerry.

The Old Grey Whore should just admit they hate President Reagan and are cynically using his legacy to support the candidacy of a Senator who hated him and get it over with.

BTW -- C-Span's off of the Rotunda coverage.

Looked like aside from the NY/LA Slimes, most major papers were fairly respectful...
