If you are a liberal, i predict that you read the new york times, listen to progressive talk radio, watch c and n, hate george w. Bush and loathe sarah palan adore algore and a revere broco. Vote for measures to redistribute wealth as the rich in order to level the plain field. Are in favor of universal health care. And so on and so on. You know, it's just kind of obvious. But yet they don't seem to support the cause. Is that most liberals would be behind. So even that, it was pretty obvious. Well, the new York Times is the paper for liberals. Everybody knows that.
Michael Shermer speaks with Ashley Rindsberg about his book The Gray Lady Winked in which he pulls back the curtain on the the world’s most powerful news outlet and flagship of the American news media, the New York Times, to reveal a quintessentially human organization where ideology, ego, power and politics compete with the more humble need to present the facts. Rindsberg offers an eye-opening, often shocking, look at the New York Times’s greatest journalistic failures, so devastating they changed the course of history.
