Clay Waters at MRC’s TimesWatch notes that the New York Times somehow finds NRODT to be more deserving for extreme political classifications than terrorist carrier-pigeons and neo-Nazis:

Saturday’s Metro Section sports a Michael Cooper feature on conservative disaffection with New York Gov. George Pataki, in a story headlined “Pataki Takes His Lumps, And They’re From the Right.” So far, so what? But turn the page to read further, and the “jump page” headline reads: “Pataki Takes His Lumps, From the (Far) Right.” Meanwhile, another story on the front of Saturday’s Metro section on radical leftist lawyer Lynne Stewart reads simply: “Regretting the Bravado, a Convicted Lawyer Examines Her Options.”

For another example of the Times’ sloppy labeling, check the headline it slapped upon a Reuters dispatch from Germany Monday on a group of neo-Nazis marching in Dresden: “Rightists Mar Remembrance In Dresden.” So neo-Nazis are merely “Rightists,” while National Review is of the “(Far) Right”?
