Are you sure that’s a homo sapien that has eyes on the side of it’s head? This is like a bad movie.

Steve: I wish the U-T had not done that. But their ad practices don’t affect the writing of Chris Reed, a fine journalist whom I have known since we worked together on the Register editorial page a decade ago.

And the L.A. Times obviously is far-left. Its editorial pages and columnists have supported almost every bond measure and tax increase in this state in the 26 years I’ve been here. Its news coverage is biased in the extreme. And the Times exerts far more influence over California than any other news outlet, including the U-T.

Their own reporter David Shaw even wrote a story series in the Times in 1990, confessing, “Abortion bias seeps into news.”

The commies won’t be happy until they control all the sources of media.

I believe that kind of thing is legally known as “a donation in kind.”

John,

The issue I raised has nothing to do with Chris’ opinion. We are talking about a paper giving a monetary advantage to one candidate over another by selling them cheaper ad space. The “far-left” LA Times (pardon me while I wipe away the tears from laughing so hard) as well as the other papers you mention have never done that to a candidate. Where I come from, that’s called cheating. But I guess anything goes as long as the candidate is “free market, limited government.”

John: How does your admission that CWD is not at all objective square with your mission claim that “CalWatchdog adheres to traditional journalistic standards”?

Are you adhering to the journalism standards of the old “pre-professional” broadsheet era? If so, why bother to pretend?

Its so comical to me that liberal progressives cry like babies when they feel the news is slanted in a direction other than their direction. Yet you don’t hear them make a squeek about the ratios of those outlets. Fox new is 1 outlet vs. NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN etc… The UT is 1 paper in the trenches against the masses. The question to ask yourself is this… Is the story true? Yes. Then how does that show bias? It doesn’t.

Steve: Unlike the supposedly “objective,” but really far-left, New York Times, L.A. Times, Washington Post, etc., we don’t hide that we have a philosophical orientation. We favor free markets and limited government. We insist on accurate news reporting, but we’re up front about “where we’re coming from.”

Also, Chris Reed is an editorial writer with the U-T, so he’s supposed to have opinions there.

Chris’s paper, the UT, is accused of selling ad space in last year’s election to Mayor Filner’s opponent at a far cheaper rate than to the mayor’s campaign. No bias here, boss. LOL.
