burdvax!cng calls \The New York Times/ a biased, liberal, left-wing paper.
Although I have often found the \Times/ to be a more valuable source of
news than the local paper here in Cleveland (\The Plain Dealer/), I will not
comment on cng's evaluation since I have not read that paper regularly.

However, I will comment on another popular paper, \The Washington Times/, which
also serves a large audience.  This paper, operated by the Unification Church,
seems to present a biased, ultra-conservative, right-wing view of the world.
Not a day goes by without a front-page story praising Our President for his
latest "strong statement" or latest conquest.  The editorial section almost
always contains heavy criticism of \The Washington Post/ and of \The New York/
\Times/ for their biased coverage of the news.  The format, layout, and
presentation of \The Washington Times/ is admittedly superior to those of
the \Post/, and I wish other papers would follow that example.  When in
Washington, however, I'll still read the \Post/; it's more balanced.
