Its not the job of a paper to be a presidents cheerleaders. Thats what Fox News does.

Newspapers are supposed to be government watchdogs. The NY Times hounded Clinton for 8 years over whitewater, monica, and vince foster.

Yup. And they continue to hound Bush over his stuff. It's all good. The idea that they are some sort of Right Wingers there is absurd though.

Cool.

I'd rather have newspapers hound the government, no matter which party is in power, than to be their lap dogs. As long as they don't lie, and make a professional effort to tell the truth.

Weren't the times caught out with one of their people pretending to report on things? He just made crap up? I thought that was the newspaper. They are much more careful nowadays.
