Well they aren't liberal or conservative so much as establishment Democrat. And they regularly engage in bias by omission in their reporting.

the bias is "don't upset the apple cart".

I think the complaints about it being liberal are only valid in the context of not being rabidly right-wing.

Ha. I don't mind the downvotes (because I'm right). The "shift to the right" is pretty well documented.

The fact that "liberal" is considered a pejorative today is testament to that.

I welcome proof otherwise.

Edit: example #1 of "neutral bias": The war on drugs is reported on in a matter of fact manner, and I've heard ZERO editorial comments that point out the insanity and wrongfulness of it. Same thing with the wars, etc.

I think nowadays "centrist" means "always supports all wars everywhere for any reason with any victim".

You could really show you don't care by not posting at all.
