New York Post columnist and former Times reporter Michael Goodwin wrote, "because it (The Times) demonized Trump from start to finish, it failed to realize he was onto something. And because the paper decided that Trump’s supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it didn’t have a clue about what was happening in the lives of the Americans who elected the new president

Media bias?  What media bias?

Of all the stud liberal things I have ever seen, this is right up there with Al Gore and the faux mmgw crisis.
When you have to promise to try and tell the truth, you are not the media. You are the propaganda purveyors.

It certainly doesn't seem like they're rededicating themselves to anything when the publisher says he believes they covered the election fairly. The editor, however, seems to be at odds with that opinion. Nobody thinks the New York Times is unbiased so I wouldn't expect much to change.

The media has been the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party since the late 60s', when Walter Cronkite, an admitted liberal/progressive stated the war in Vietnam was lost right after Tet.  We kicked ass in Tet, it was far from lost.  Back then there was no alternative, so people just believe his crap.  It wasn't until Rush in the late 1980's that there was an alternative voice.

No surprise. Navel staring is a big part of what makes the left so very hard of hearing.
