NYT Profiles (Leftist) Political Bloggers

Extracted from yesterday's edition of the New York Times Magazine:

Earlier this month, a platoon of right-wing bloggers launched a coordinated assault against CBS News and its memos claiming that President Bush got special treatment in the National Guard; within 24 hours, the bloggers' obsessive study of typefaces in the 1970's migrated onto Drudge, then onto Fox News and then onto the networks and the front pages of the country's leading newspapers.

There was a coordinator? It must have been a secret coordinator. And there was no "bloggers' obsessive study of typefaces." Bloggers were exposing fraud by the media.

The profile of bloggers is ten pages in length and the aforementioned sentence is the only reference to conservative blogging and bloggers. The author, Matthew Klam, wrote ten pages and could only put in one sentence, I repeat, ONE STINKING SENTENCE, about conservative blogging. And the sentence is inaccurate and pejorative.

The NYT should print a revision to their motto. Suggested: "Half the news that's fit to be slanted."
