Agency France-Presse has an article about the McCain campaign’s attacks against the New York Times for what it claims is pro-Obama bias. I found the last two sentences kind of amusing:
The New York Times is regarded by some observers in America as a paragon of journalistic standards which keeps its news reporting and opinion comment strictly separate.
But it is reviled by conservatives who rail against the perceived liberal bias of the mainstream media.
UPDATE: Based on the comment thread, this post is a bit too subtle for some of our readers. Just to take readers through it, the post pokes fun at the AFP, not the New York Times. Whether the NYT is biased or not is irrelevant . That’s right, this is actually not a post about the New York Times! The joke here is that AFP’s coverage is itself biased, quite apart from whether the Times is biased.
