I agree that after 9-11 much of the nation supported Bush.
I'm not sure 'true-believers' on the right would consider me one of them. I tend to be more individualistic.
The graph from the
Quarterly Journal of Economics gives a quantified reason for view the NY Times as a progressive paper.
The ombudsman at the NY Times has stated that the paper's editorial staff promotes a progressive agenda.
Their opinion writers: Maureen Down, Paul Krugman, etc make no pretense of being anything but progressives.
So.
Perhaps on this issue we can't find a common ground.
