NYT EXAMINES MURDOCH, AILES, GIULIANI AXIS

See, this is a prime example of the bias in the media.
If they are really objective reporters as they claim, then you don't take out personal or business problems with an individual on the front page of the New York Times.
The problem is that this is very hurtful for the country. Especially when publications like the NYT's and CBS news have people trying to "get even" against people they hate. It doesn't allow for balanced and fair coverage.

Sorry, I see nothing for you to complain about here. There is nothing wrong with the subject of the report. It's a big story with important people. Why wouldn't it be on the front page? It's a current event. Why wouldn't it be on the front page?

Now you're just inventing reasons to criticize the times.

No,no...I don't have to look for reasons...
When a liberal mag had the story on Monice...they didn't even print it..
But here is another case of liberal media having nothing and trying to snoop around until they find something they can print...
It doesn't happen for the other side.

I'm going to assume that by "Monice," you meant Monica Lewinsky. Well:

When the Monica Lewinsky story broke, the [NY] Times and the [Washington] Post -- like nearly every other news outlet in the country -- dedicated extraordinary resources to covering it. The day after the story broke, the Times and the Post ran a combined total of 19 articles about it, five of them on the front page. Twenty-eight reporters combined to write more than 20,000 words about a "scandal" that boiled down to whether the president told the truth about a consensual relationship that was ruled immaterial to a civil lawsuit that was thrown out of court for being entirely without merit. That's 28 reporters and 20,000 words -- at just two newspapers in just one day.

This is the same New York Times that sat on the domestic warrantless wiretap story for a year because Bush asked them nicely not to print it.

Ummm....ya (about Monica)
Once Drugde FORCED them to print the story, they had to. It was the biggest story in a long time and they HAD to cover it....
So your facts don't change anything

And that was good they didn't reveal ways that we were preventing more terror attacks. I guess they had a soul for one year.

Game this is absurd, even for you. Ailes was Giuliani's media consultant during his first mayoral campaign and Giuliani officiated at his wedding.

Now Ailes is the head of the largest republican news outfit.

Please tell me honestly, if you are able, If the situation was reversed, and lets say that Hillary had that kind of close relationship with the head of CNN, wouldn't you be screaming bias? And wouldn't you think it was a cover up if no other media outlets were reporting that potential for bias? Especially if Clinton had been given more face time than any of the other candidates on CNN?
