Is the New York Times too conservative or too liberal? In reading over the newspaper I have discovered that there are both articles that are right-winged, left-winged, and neutral.
The article A Onetime McCain Insider Is Now Offering Advice (Unwanted) From the Outside, discusses former Republican consultant Mike Murphy and his comments about John McCain's campaign. Murphy used to be the chief strategist for McCain’s 2000 presidential race. Murphy did not have positive comments about the McCain campaign, but Murphy has had a reputation for battling powerful people. Murphy’s comments are not criticizing McCain but his strategist. This article is very well-written and does not shine a negative light on McCain. The article mainly criticizes Murphy for the statements he has made towards McCain.
The article McCain and Obama Hurl Broadsides at Each Other Over Taxes and Jobs, is clearly pro-Obama. The article discusses how Barack Obama’s grandmother became ill and he left the campaign trail to visit her. During this trip McCain still hurled low-blow insults at Obama. This article creates sympathy within the reader for Obama, and makes McCain seem to be cruel and unsympathetic.
The article Candidates’ Views of U.S. Role Shift on Trail, Defying Labels, is a very neutral article. The article goes through all of McCain and Obama’s strategies and plans for certain areas if chosen the next President of the United States. The article states the facts evenly for both candidate, and would be very useful for a reader who wants to know where both candidates stand on an even scale.
