    Trump on Monday had told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that if Clinton "treats me with respect, I will treat her with respect." His tweet Saturday came roughly an hour after The New York Times endorsed Clinton for president.


    Note the part I bolded.

    Now we all know how biased the Mainstream Media is towards the liberals/democrats. For us, that isn't news.

    But they come right out and admit it!  Should the newspaper at least have an APPEARANCE of being an impartial delivery medium of what is going on in the world?

    That's like a Gregorian chant business taking a strong stand with a given Traditional group. It's simply not called for -- Chant is neutral in the various debates that rock the Traditional world. A feeneyite can enjoy Gregorian chant as much as a sedevacantist, and as much as an Indult Latin Mass attendee.

    So, to me, what's remarkable about this quote is that they ADMIT IT in this one case.

    Doesn't this pretty much throw away any shred of credibility of all their online/offline publications? It's all just an extension of the Hillary 2016 campaign, and should be taken as such by anyone with a brain. They admitted they're pulling for her!

    Absolutely not.  

    The blinders are off.  No need to pretend anymore.  

    There is no such thing as impartial news.  There never was.  There will always be a philosophy that guides whatever editor is compiling a newspaper.
