Fortunately, they have some good reporters, but they have too many right-wing opinion authors who publish nothing but dreck. And, for heavens sake, when will they just kick George Will to the curb add sat enough, old man, you’re a part of the problem. He hasn’t had an original idea in decades, if ever. And the fact that they still publish Hugh Hewitt’s columns says a lot about their attitude toward honesty.

The Times is little better. Today they has an article with a headline that made me cringe, as in abortion drove women to the workplace. Drove, as in forced? How about saying that access to abortion (and birth control) freed women to pursue economic opportunities through work! I’m assuming that these writers are not clueless, thus such phrasing is deliberate and intended to make it appear that access to abortion has been bad for women.
