The NYT in particular.
Today “The New York Times” proves once again that it uses its news pages to promote its editorial point of view. “The Times” ran two articles about the gay marriage amendment. In article number one on the front page, it referred to supporters of the amendment as conservatives four times. In article number two on page 19, it’s referred to supporters of the amendment as conservatives five times. That’s nine mentions of conservatives being for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
Now if you read the articles, it’s obvious what “The Times” is doing. Anyone who opposes gay marriage is labeled a conservative, which is the worst thing you can possibly be at “The New York Times.”
Of course, the polls show that the majority of Democrats in America oppose gay marriage. And even the bomb-throwing Democrat from West Virginia, Senator Robert Byrd, voted for the constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage, but don’t tell “The New York Times” that. They want their readers to think that everyone who opposes gay marriage is some kind of right wing nut.
