While everyone else was laughing at the ridiculous New York Times piece about the Democrats’ search for a liberal talk show host to counter the “conservative” media, Susanna at Cut on the Bias was doggedly looking for, well, bias in the article. Or, if not outright bias, then the willful omission of facts contradicting the tone and intent of the article. In this case, she found that the NYT was aware of a popular liberal talk show host in New York, but chose not to mention his existence. Nice detective work.

This reminds me of a quote by Thomas Huxley: “The great tragedy of science – the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact.”
