    While I think that the guys writing the opinion pieces are idiots, the Founding Fathers clearly didn't think that the Constitution should never be changed, or they wouldn't have put in provisions to change it. And lets not forget, that if things weren't changed silly little things like women getting the vote wouldn't have happened.

    a majority of the country is "left wing" in reality you can look up the studies yourself, but that really doesn't mean much. As for the news everyone claims to be far and balance but all news groups big or small are biased to some degree, mainly the big cable news networks like fox news which without a doubt holds the crown for most biased.

    Uh, what?

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/141032/20...-liberals.aspx

    I'm sure there are more polls out there that are more current than this (this is just the first one that popped up on google), but I doubt liberals have jumped into the majority in the last two years.

    While it's true that younger Americans are more left wing than the rest of America, they're still outnumbered.

    So if the US is left wing the why is CNN and MSNBC ratings so low that even the Devil is looking down and saying" Wow! That's a pretty deep hole!"

    Because they are smarter then that not to be watching 24/7 newsroom sh*t?

    Wait, not, that's not the answer you wanted right?
    Just pointing out how dumb that question was.

    And I'm pretty sure opinion pieces don't represent the collective stance of a whole newspaper with all its staff. But that's just me.

    CNN is going down because their programming is just plain bad and gimmicky, well msnbc I haven't heard anything on so I can't say anything for it, and Fox i assume is doing well because it's well entertaining in the sense it's insane.
    Also miss spoke on liberal thing meant to say majority is progressive when you go by the peoples views on key issues, I admit a simple mistake should have paid more attention to what I was typing.

    So they get their eduakation off the internet. After all if its online then its true.

    With bias the media makes sure certain "opinions" get published.

    I thought it was because they took the crown from Fox for being blatantly biased. CNN is about as good as Yahoo for the lulz in the comments of the articles. They get 1 good article every once in awhile but that's pushing it. I'm in no way defending Fox, but I'm curious, what in your expert opinion has Fox holding the crown for most biased? Is it because they report something other than happy days with sunshine? They ran with the F&F scandal while others ignored it? Is it because they don't call the Tea Party or concerned citizens racist? Is it because they are not apart of the crapoganda machine?

    I won't entertain you and respond to your other none sense.

    The problem is not with NYT, which at leat tries to present factual information (of course as it's common now with attached interpretations).

    The problem is you will have hard time finding an expert in academical circles with no left agenda.
    Your american academical system sucks. Not NYT per se.

    Actually, the majority of the country is not "left wing". Only about 20% of the population claim they are liberal. This is still a vastly conservative country. Why do you think the major news networks: NBC, CBS, CNN...etc. are sucking so bad? The NYT is laying people off and shutting down whole departments to save money because readership is down. Air America went bankrupt for the last time and George Soros couldn't bring himself to bail them out again. Eventually they just ran out of lies and they couldn't keep it up any longer. That's the major problem with Socialism, it is built on a foundation of lies and you keep piling lie on top of lie, eventually the whole rotten structure just comes crashing down.The former Soviet Union is the definitive example of state sponsored propaganda,and look what happened.
