BuzzFlash Vs. The New York Times
BuzzFlash Vs. The New York Times

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

In a David vs. Goliath battle, we think BuzzFlash is holding its own. For one thing, the New York Times is starting to get a little defensive at our criticisms of their roll over and play dead coverage of the White House.

Maybe it was when we honored (or dishonored) NYT Executive Editor Bill Keller as our BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the week that they got a little edgy.

Or maybe it was when we called for an investigative reporter, along the lines of a special counsel for journalism, to investigate the New York Times News Section for journalistic malfeasance in covering the White House.

Or maybe it was the numerous other times that we have pointed out how the New York Times whines about being a liberal media whipping boy for the right wing, while ensuring that the White House is never REALLY offended.

2. Buzzflash is in my opinion the best liberal news site on the web
Now, don't worry, I spend much more time on DU, but DU is a forum. For sheer news, you can't beat buzzflash.

4. Agree, Buzzflash is the best. Their editorials and interviews and
links are a one stop read for all things "Progressive." They always support the latest Indy Media Documentaries and offer nice premiums on them. BUZZFLASH :yourock:

6. Raw Story's the best...
They're doing what Drudge did: they aren't just out to link to the news, but make the news. And it has fun non-political links like Drudge that allows it to fool people into thinking it's not partisan, the same way Drudge does.

3. Great editorial.
In Buzzflash vs NYTimes, it's obvious who the loser is: American journalism.

5. You're right
It's excellent, and raises very important points that the so-called media critics refuse to recognize.
