Bobert's tunnelvision news sources:

The Washington Post is a "corporate website" the kind that Bobert claims is biased. It is 100% profit motivated like any other corporation.

The Washington Post Company is a diversified media and education company whose principal operations include newspaper and magazine publishing, television broadcasting, cable television systems, electronic information services, and educational and career services.

The company owns The Washington Post, The Gazette Newspapers (Maryland), The Herald (Everett, Washington), Newsweek, television stations in Detroit, Houston, Miami, Orlando, San Antonio and Jacksonville, and cable systems serving subscribers in midwestern, western and southern states.

The company also owns Kaplan, Inc., a leading provider of educational and career services; Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, a subsidiary that creates and manages electronic information services, principally on the Internet; and PostNewsweek Tech Media Group, which produces technology publications and trade shows primarily for government IT managers and contractors.

The company also has ownership interests in the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service and BrassRing, Inc.


You are damned right it is biased, biased to the left like the LA Times who alters photos.

'LA Times' Fires Photographer for Altering Photo
Published: April 02, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles Times said Wednesday it fired a photographer for altering a front-page photo of a British soldier and a group of Iraqi civilians.

In an editor's note in Wednesday editions, the Times said photographer Brian Walski acknowledged in a phone call from Iraq that he had used a computer to combine elements of two photos to improve the composition.

Journalism ethics forbid changing the content of news photographs, and it is specifically barred in the newspaper's policy.

The two photos, taken moments apart, showed a British soldier directing Iraqi civilians to protect themselves from possible Iraqi fire on the outskirts of Basra. Only after the altered photo appeared Monday did editors notice that some civilians in the background appeared twice, the Times said.

Messages left early Wednesday for two Times representatives were not immediately returned.

All three photos -- the two originals and the altered photo -- were published by the Times on Wednesday.

Walski had been with the Times since 1998.

Now for Bobert's other main source of "truth", the New York Times:
Our Company

The New York Times Company is a leading media company with 2004 revenues of $3.3 billion, publishes The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, The Boston Globe and 15 other daily newspapers; owns eight network-affiliated television stations and two New York radio stations; and has approximately 35 Web sites, including NYTimes.com, Boston.com and About.com.


35 websites, all of them corporate I'll bet. And how about that Jayson Blair lying reformed drug addict scumbag. There's a sterling example of a reliable news organization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Blair

In fact there is a website dedicated to exposing the left wing bias of the NY Times. http://www.timeswatch.org/

In the words of Famous Amos: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Open your eyes Mr. Bobert. There is a lot to see besides your own predetermined sources for the truth.
