Taking the Times to Task

How does one decide which news is fit to print? We at Atlas Blogged have no special formula to address this issue, and as such we print an eclectic mix of whatever strikes our fancy. And we try not to be pretentious about it.
But at the New York Times, there is a pretention to carry all of the news that is fit to print. That's their motto. Thus, a lack of coverage on a topic by the Times is an editorial statement in and of itself. With great readership comes great responsibility, and the Times has not been living up to that responsibility.

Mediacrity takes the Times to task today with a short article highlighting the lack of any coverage of recent events in Gaza, which is of course just the latest example of the paper being called out for its biased coverage of the region. For example, Tom Gross was in the National Review railing over this same issue back in March.

It's no wonder the MSM is getting killed by the blogosphere.
