(Full disclosure: I have been published in The Washington Times, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and the Los Angeles Times)
In April of this year, Bill O’Reilly wrote that “The New York Times is most definitely a committed left-wing concern that is openly contemptuous of the conservative, traditional point-of-view.
