NBC/NYT: Proof for O’Reilly?
There were actually two thoughts that popped into my head on Monday when the NYT/NBC deal was announced. One was about The Post which I’ve already discussed. The other was, “Will O’Reilly see this deal as proof of his overhyped and overplayed talking point that NBC has gone left?”
The answer to that came last night on O’Reilly’s talking points memo…
As we’ve been telling you for months, NBC News taking a dramatic turn to the left, believing weakness in the Bush administration would translate into more liberal viewers for their news programs.
Well, it hasn’t turned out that way.
Yesterday, NBC News and the liberal New York Times announced a partnership in covering the 2008 presidential election. Now there’s nothing wrong with that, sharing resources can get you publicity, save money. But obviously, NBC News and The Times are a good fit. Both organizations are run by liberals and their marching orders are quite clear, promote the left.
EXACTlY!

Certainly is proof. Even I, who went to one of the most liberal of liberal colleges, had to buy a book on how slanted and skewed the Times is. I think the teacher had us buy it by accident… and we never actually read it… but the point is, I bought it.
Wait… maybe that isn’t the point… but whatever… yes the NY Times is a liberal newspaper, and MSNBC’s joining only solidifies their commitment to one political POV. I wonder how long it will be before the paper officially endorses a candidate (a practice I’ve never quite understood)… And I wonder if that mean that MSNBC will endorse that candidate too? And what, perhaps most importantly, will that say about the coverage on the network?
