How objectivity in journalism became a matter of opinion

You label the NYT as biased not because of its bias, but because you disagree with its reporting (i.e. your own bias.) instead you will go to somewhere you agree - and you will be worse off for it.

Things can be biased towards the truth just as much as the untrue. The NYT does have some truly eye-roll content for me - but they also have some very good articles. Just like the WSJ has eye roll content.

That's really impressive psychoanalysis on your part. NOT. I've considered that and looked at it from a number of angles and the conclusion is that they are biased.

My own biases are not partisan, but tend toward a dislike of things like hypocrisy and misconstruing facts - behavior I see often at NYT and WaPo.

Not? Haven't heard that one since the 4th grade. Keep on "owning the libs" man.
