From Warner Todd Huston: The 50 top examples of liberal media bias

My good friend Warner Todd Huston has compiled the 50 Top Examples of Liberal Media Bias. Click here to read them. As for a 51st, I suggest liberal New York newspapers' lack of interest in exposing Robert Moses, the subject of Robert Caro's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Power Broker, the man who remade New York City, Long Island, and much of New York state in his image--a not very pleasant one, I'd like to add.

To be fair, one liberal newspaper, the pre-Rupert Murdoch New York Post, never fully supported him. It teamed with another liberal newspaper, the defunct World-Telegram, to finally tell the truth about Moses in the late 1950s--yet he was able to reign until 1968--after 44 years in power.

The New York Times was slow to condemn Moses. In fact, in its obituary of "the master builder," the Times remarked that Moses "moved sharply to the right" in the 1930s. Huh? Nominally a Republican, the Power Broker was no conservative--he was more of a Teddy Roosevelt progressive.
