The Times and Life of Its Voyeurism
Peter Daou delivers the rebuttal to the NY Times’ assertion that its decision to pander to the Richard Mellon Scaife sponsored propaganda is ethical and balanced.
Yet I think it more important to lessen our engagement in the debate when the subject is Hillary and pursue balanced reportage in a different way. Report on the marriages of the numerous potential Dem presidential candidates and display that there’s not even rumors of disloyalty or infidelity in their loving and committed relationships.
If the Times intends to refute the public clamor against its bias and continue reporting innuendo as fact, the only way it can do so with any shred of credibility is to present the balance of the healthy marriages that abound in the lives of our other Democratic leaders.
How can they offer a single credible argument against that while proclaiming there’s a legit public interest in the gossip and speculation about the personal lives of the Clintons?
