It appoears that we’ve been down same road. I dropped NYT for 20 years for a headline that said W would have won if Florida had counted correctly on a story that showed he would have lost.

The Pro-Corporate New York Times
Today on TAP: Its coverage is often biased and sloppy.
Sometimes the news and “interpretative” coverage of the supposedly liberal New York Times is astonishingly shabby and friendly to the corporate view.
