The New York Times is a reputable newspaper.
So is the Wall Street Journal.
They each have equally valid, yet diametrically opposed, views on the world.
Whenever you read a political story in a newspaper, any newspaper, you've got to take it with a grain of salt.
Neither the right nor the left have a monopoly on the truth. And I have never once seen an NPOV publication. Never.
The only solution is to read shit from both sides and form your own opinion.
