Mediacrity thinks today’s New York Times might have been the worst ever:

Today’s New York Times must surely go down in history as one of the most ideologically slanted single issues I have ever seen. It should be preserved in plastic, as it will be studied by historians in the future as a superb example of the humbling of a once-great newspaper.

The articles in the award-winning entry:

1. The lead story: “an exaggerated piece on a ’scoop’ revealing how the Bush administration reacted so terribly to Katrina.”

2. A “murkily written story,” also front-paged, “having something to do with a conservative official leaving the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.”

3. “A piece about how poor, innocent immigrants are being bullied and deported by nasty U.S. immigration officials.”

4. And finally, the burial in the back pages of this article about how al Qaeda tried another Sept. 11-style attack on Los Angeles in 2002. “Oh no, conservatives doing something or other at the CPB is much more important!”

I think Mediacrity has spent too much time lately reading the NYT. Being able to spot issues of the New York Times that are more biased than others is like being able to tell individual squirrels apart.
