Matt Yglesias makes a real good point about what's driving our national "debate" (it's more like a slap fight) these days. The so-called "Liberal Press" is bending too far backward to report on — and therefore give weight to — darn near every charge that right-wingers make about left-wingers but the reverse is not true. The New York Times cares way too much when it's accused of being biased towards the left and therefore tries to demonstrate fairness by reporting the right's accusations. Fox News, on the other hand, doesn't care all that much about being accused of being biased towards the right…at least not enough to cover more stories that would disprove that.
