“JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.”— attributed to many, made famous on twitter by Andrea Junker. sorry, Andrea — the New York Times would beg to differ. their own version of Journalism 101 goes something like this: if Democrats say democracy is awesome and Republicans say democracy sucks all ass and Donny Convict should be God-Emperor for Life, it’s not the Times’ job to get involved with “partisan bickering.”
