You can disagree but that doens't really change things. Yes republicans use the term liberal in a negative manner but it is the actions of liberals that have made it an effective statetegy.

Liberals add to the negative connitation of the word by spending so much energy running from it. Conseratives on the other hand activly embrace the title, hell even liberals such as Obama try and run as consearives.

So yes liberals have done much more then republicans have to make the word an insult. Running in a center right nation it makes sense in short term for liberals to try and paint theirsleves as conseratives but in the long run it has hurt their brand and the ideals they are trying to advance.



I don't claim that the NYT is not a credible news source just that it is a biased source with an agenda and its reporting should be viewed as such. I read article from the NYT on a regular basis and the are occasions I post an article here it is often from the NYT.

It is not only in the editorials pages we see bias in the media and I really don't care about op-ed pieces. It is what they cover and how they cover it that is the problem. The NYT is the nations most prestigious newspaper and as such they need to be held to a higher standard but sadly as far as bias goes they often come in well short of that. They are not as biased as say the New York Post but if politics are involved you still have to look for other sources to get the rest of the story.

I also think NPR has a left leaning bias but I listen to them every morning on the way to work. They are a good source of information you just have to remember they have a bias.



There is nothing maybe about I just think there is middle road.
