What makes the NYT so imperative as a source, can it not be found
elsewhere?  BBC, IHT, or (cookie-ridden) Allafrica?  <sarcasm> I doubt
IRIN would archive such reporting. </sarcasm>

---------------

It has to do with an agenda.  There is a presumtion that the mainstream
press is impartial and it is not.  In contrast National Review does not
pretend to be other than a Conservative publication, and the Daily
Worker freely admits to being a House Organ for the Communist Party.

So if I want to read a Conservative viewpoint, I would read NR.  If I want
to find out what the ACP has to say, it would read the DW.  If I wanted an
impartial view, the mainstream press is where I -should- go, btu I do not
find one there.
