Do you have any evidence that Carlos Slim has any influence on the editorial board of the New York Times? Or Jeff Bezos influencing the Washington Post editorial board?
- dominotw 10y agoMy response was to a comment wanting generic policy towards "money in politics", assumption being that everyone who gets money is offering something in return. Your question is irrelevant in this context.
- mikeryan 10y agoI can't point to metrics but the current rash of Washington Post stories seem to be skewing much more left then in the past. It could just be the times we are in a lot of the news I follow seems to be that way.
- iainmerrick 10y agoIn the past it may have been a cheap shot, but I think it's fair to say that reality has a left-wing bias right now. Denying climate change is now right-wing orthodoxy and is about to be entrenched in the White House. Or to put it another way, I think politics has lurched right rather than the Post moving left. Do you have any particular stories in mind, though?

- aclsid 10y agoHis assertion also made me curious. There seems to be a slight bias in favor of Slim at the NYT though. Just read that article, it does portray the version from the other party, but always allowing for a proper justification for Slim's position so that one might find it reasonable. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/world/americas/mexicos-carlos-slim-helu.html http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/world/americas/mexicos-car...
