Honestly, I wouldn’t line my bird’s cage with the NY Times because that would mean I paid to read this:

Mr. Obama said that he would begin to address the country’s deep deficit by raising taxes on the wealthy, while cutting them for the vast majority of American workers. But he dodged the question of what programs he would have to sacrifice to help foot the proposed bailout’s $700 billion price tag. Mr. McCain dodged the same question with equal energy.

That’s  a lie.  McCain responded to that question with a spending freeze on everything but a few programs.  Obama couldn’t find one program that he would delay and called for a scalpel approach to spending eventhough the president doesn’t have line item veto powers.  And that’s only the tip of the iceberg in this hatchet job.  For example, how many times do you think the ‘paper of record’ called Reagan “sunny and avuncular” while he was president?  But when they want to draw negative contrasts with McCain, they have no problem repudiating their past history.

The media is way beyond bias now.  They’re the Fed and Barack is AIG–he’s ‘too big to fail’.
