Of interest

I'll be discussing media bias, real or alleged, in a day or two. This struck me as a pretty good reason why I lean toward the idea that it's real and not alleged.

Granted, the New York Review of Books is there to, well, review books, not report the news, so you could argue that it's no big deal whether everyone it quotes on politics holds the same view.

On the other hand, you could argue that, since literature does play a crucial role in a society's thinking, for a publication like this to march in lockstep is a very big deal indeed.

Link may be a little wonky -- I'm not used to linking directly to posts on that particular blog -- but look for the post titled "New York Review of Lefties."
