Quote from ktmexc20:
What agenda? I don't understand why republican's are so against the New York times when, for instance.. if you remember, Clinton was plastered all over the front pages during his scandal. Is it hard to accept a news organization reporting the news?
The NY Times has traditionally supported Democratic candidates in national and local elections. Their opinion columns have also been almost uniformly against the policies of the Bush administration.
That's why some republicans hate the times and want to exploit the arms of government to chill the free press.
Up north, there are many level headed Republicans that have great respect for the press and individual rights. But in Bush country, many Republicans are proto-fascist constitution burning radical plunderers.
But let me say that there are some nice crackers too!
