NY Times showing an effective conservative bias. Why?????? Ugh

The NYT reports on Dinesh D’Souza, selectively reporting facts with a conservative spin.

They call him an “author”, with no mention of DSouza’s failings and his hatemongering?




Here’s a more accurate report from the Daily Beast. DSouza is one of the worst, most hateful, liars in public life. The NYT is making a grave error omitting the truth about DSouza.

Why does the NYT take a conservative-biased tone in headlines like these?

It is always an epic fail. When you have to dismiss facts and truth to appear "fair," then you are promoting propaganda and no longer reporting.

We are partially in this giant mess because media outlets like the Times bend over backwards to appease the right. The result is giving too much time and credibility to the vile excrement spewed by hate mongers like Dinesh D'Souza.

My feeling is that you don't get to participate in the argument unless you actually have quaint things like "evidence" and "facts" to support a viewpoint. Otherwise, go home and talk to yourself.
