NYT worst quotes of the year
Clay Waters of Times Watch, the website chronicling the political agenda of the New York Times, has posted the results of annual contest to name the worst quote of the year at that paper. It was my pleasure to serve as one of the judges.
The list of quotes assembled by Clay for weighing by the judges (scroll down below the judges' verdict) is a truly remarkable document, demonstrating the incredible leftward drift of the paper and the utter lack of self-consciousness about the shameless inserting of bias into stories. When you have a few minutes, review the list yourself, and just try not to laugh. The Times outdid itself last year.
