Finally -- proof that the New York Times is biased. At least when it comes to the sports section, anyway.
I've kind of taken over as CJR Daily's unofficial sports media critic, having done pieces recently on coverage of the BALCO steroids case and USA Today's coverage of the Bowl Championship Series (they pay for one of the polls used to calculate which teams get in).
Speaking of bias: If you want to read my view on whether political bias has anything to do with how the Armstrong Williams rent-a-columnist scandal is playing, there's a letter of mine posted on Romesesko's letters page. Here's the kicker: "Isn’t it time that we started treating paid partisans like paid partisans, even when they’re dressing up their ideology in the guise of media criticism?"
