Obviously! ;)

Of course not.  Thanks on asking for the clarification!
 
It highlights for me  how hillarious it is watching MT downplay this admission of NYT coverage bias after his recent tirade against biased and unreliable news sources.

Reliable? The left and right both have their biases and agendas. I just happen to believe that the right wing's agenda is more likely to ensure the long term survival of our freedom and prosperity. At the core of the right wing is the fundamental belief that while everyone should have equal opportunity this does not mean that everyone should be guaranteed a comfortable lifestyle or even a minimum standard of living. Rather, it means that everyone willing to work for it should have an opportunity to realize the "American Dream".

I'm glad you are so easily amused.

If the Washington Times or some other right wing paper came out and said they were biased I would say exactly the same thing I said here....

"Other than the refreshing honesty........"

Wake up Grun. I think you need your coffee.

MT mode:

So you are saying the Washington Times is just as credible and reliable as the New York Times?

And I would wager that the largest bone of contention between the two camps is whether or not everyone is getting an "equal" opportunity.  How do you define equality of opportunity?

I just did the same thing as you did to Rip's post, heck I even said it was MT Mode. Perfect response! Its nice to see that we agree how you made up a non existant and uniintended analogy.

OK, since you didn't have your coffee I'll help you out.

1. My response to Rippy was sarcasm. Asking if he always responded to questions with questions using nothing but questions... get it?

2. Refreshing honesty... is lib speak for "No Duh!"
3. I would say "No Duh! to the Washington Post too. If they had the honesty to admit they were Moonies.

Added for your enjoyment...

Admitted liberal newspapers are more reliable than those that hide their biases, simply because they are not trying to hide anything.

And with that thought, I don't care if their editors are left or right, I care about the bias of the reporting. Therefore, it is up to each and everyone of us to listen to all aspects of the news from various sources, digest the stories thoroughly, and sort out the lies from the truth.  Just happens that more reporters are now "lying" in their bias stories from the left and being caught lately...;)

By simply enforcing the current discrimination laws.

So, as long as current discrimination laws are enforced, everyone currently has an equal opportunity at succeeding in America?

I wish I could agree with you that that were true.

I guess we could debate what "equal opportunity" is without end. Socialism, in time, will reduce us all to the level of the lowest common denominator, imo. The left/liberals are much closer to that than the right.
