The NYT had a responsibility to ask W how it was possible for him to claim that he was compassionate despite the fact that he supported forcing women to give birth against their will. How is that possibly compassionate? It's not. How can W claim to support smaller government when W believed that the government should control women's bodies.? The NYT never questioned W on the hypocrisy of his claims. The NYT had a responsibility to do so because it's their job to do so. It's clear that you've never read the Daily Howler blog. The archives from 2000 provide a date specific, news outlet specific, reporter specific with specific quotes from news articles documenting in detail the media's war against Al Gore in 2000 where the media attacked Al Gore for everything. The media made no effort to hide its blatant bias in favor of W. The Daily Howler blog in specific, detailed fashion identifies and then shows the specific evidence that both the NYT and the Washington Post were the ring leaders of the media's war against Al Gore in 2000. I highly recommend that you read the Daily Howler blog archives from 2000 to see for yourself the detailed and very specific documentation of the media's pro W, anti Gore coverage of the 2000 Presidential campaign for yourself. You won't have such a rose colored glasses view of the NYT once you read the specific documentation of their behavior during the 2000 Presidential campaign and its aftermath.
