In what respect?
Some here feel it's the devil's spawn, that it's THAT liberal.
There's a web site devoted to this belief (www.smartertimes.com), but
it is a strange obsession mostly fixated on picking out typos and
factual errors, and, yes, pointing out supposed left-wing bias.
For people like me, it's nowhere near left-wing enough,,,, But that's
just MY bias.
My problem is that I can't find a left-wing paper that isn't wacky.
The Nation comes close, but it's a weekly, and it's tiny, too tiny to
really act as a "newspaper" for me. I'm still open for bids.
Left-wing, liberal, not off the wall, taking suggestions right
here....
