All The News That Fits ...... Our Ideology
The following sources are listed in the NY Times with links to the homepages.
I guess the editors of the NY Times have decided its readers have a lot more interest in following Al Jazeera and the Lebanon Daily Star than Fox News or the Washington Times .... "Blogroll News Sites * Al Jazeera (English) * ANSA (English) * Arab News * Asharq Al-Awsat * BBC News * BBC World News Video * BBC World Service * CBC * Channel 4 News * CNN * Corriere della Sera * Corriere Della Sera (English) * Daily Star, Lebanon * Dawn * El Mundo * El País * Financial Times * Globo.com * Google News * Guardian.co.uk * Haaretz * IBNLive.com * International Herald Tribune * Irish Times * Lanacion.com * LATimes.com * Le Monde * McClatchy * MSNBC * NDTV * Newsmap * NPR * O Globo * ProPublica * Russia Today * Spiegel (English) * Sydney Morning Herald * The Globe and Mail * The Mail and Guardian * The National * The New York Times * The Telegraph * The Wall Street Journal * The Wires: A.P. * The Wires: Reuters * Timesonline.co.uk * Twitter: Breaking News Online * Washingtonpost.com * ZDF Analysis, Features and Documentaries * BBC Panorama * BBC Radio 4 * Big Picture * Bill Moyers Journal * Frontline * Global Front Pages * Have I Got News For You * Newsnight * PBS NewsHour * Pew Research * Room for Debate * Slate * The Daily Show * The New Yorker * Vanity Fair * VII * Washington Independent * Wide Angle" This list can be found by following some of the Times' blogs, for example here: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/20/the-lede-at-war/?scp=8&sq=blogroll&st=cse I love the Times, having read it daily for 35 years. And I enjoy reading both sides of an issue. But you really have to scratch your head when they purport to be objectively providing all of the news.

The Wall Street Journal is owned by the Fox News Corp, as are probably many of the others. Al Jazeera is actually a pretty good news source, they have actually been banned from Iran for their reporting. The Washington Times, aka "the Moonie paper" is a piece of absolute crap not worthy of the bottom of a bird cage, no one who has the least bit of intellectual integrity would quote anything out of that disinformation rag.
I'd being willng to bet most of these are also owned by Murdoch: Sydney Morning Herald * The Globe and Mail * The Mail and Guardian * The Telegraph * Timesonline.co.uk

Since they are offering a variety of viewpoints, they should be able to recognize that their readership can sift the wheat from the chaff.

I didn't realize there was a litmus test. Perhaps Bill O'rielly, Hannity's and Beck's incessant bashing of them over any insane little nit pissed them off. BTW, perhaps you can tell me, why isn't there a link to the NYT on Fox New's website? My own view is that in a free country, they are free to link or not link who they please, just like the NYT is, so in the end, WGAS.

On the other hand, the Times has links to a few dozen, but not Fox.

So like, you're the president of the Fox News Fan Club, coming here to complain? Once again, WGAS.

"Al Jazeera is actually a pretty good news source,"
Yeah and I bet you also think KOREAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY of DPRK is just as good.

July Ratings: Fox News Beats MSNBC & CNN Combined in Total Day and Prime Fox News Channel continued its cable news dominance in July not only beating CNN and MSNBC combined, but showing the most growth in the younger demo. In A25-54 viewers, FNC is up 48% in total day, and up 70% in primetime, compared to July '08. FNC had 9 of the top 10 shows in cable news in Total Viewers and ranks as the third most-watched basic cable channel behind USA and TNT. Cable news' #1 show for 104 consecutive months, "The O'Reilly Factor", is up 37% over July '08. "Glenn Beck Program" is up the most, up 120% over last year's 5pmET show. "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" is up 60% and "Hannity" is up 41% http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/july_ratings_fox_news_beats_msnbc_cnn_combined_in_total_day_and_prime_122858.asp My point is that if you claim to be the paper of record, you should not decide for your readers what to think or where to get your other viewpoints. The Times is a great paper, with great reporting - and editors who frequently add their own political point of view to the news.
