Even easier than repairing a broken link is to post the short article
telling us what we already knew....The New Yanker Times has sunk to
the bottom of the barrel!

24% Have Favorable Opinion of New York Times
Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Just 24% of American voters have a favorable opinion of the New York
Times. Forty-four percent (44%) have an unfavorable opinion and 31%
are not sure. The papers ratings are much like a candidates and
divide sharply along partisan and ideological lines.
By a 50% to 18% margin, liberal voters have a favorable opinion of the
paper. By a 69% to 9%, conservative voters offer an unfavorable view.
The newspaper earns favorable reviews from 44% of Democrats, 9% of
Republicans, and 17% of those not affiliated with either major
political story.
The Times recently became enmeshed in controversy over an article
published concerning John McCain. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the
nations likely voters say they have followed that story at least
somewhat closely.
Of those who followed the story, 66% believe it was an attempt by the
paper to hurt the McCain campaign. Just 22% believe the Times was
simply reporting the news. Republicans, by an 87% to 9% margin,
believe the paper was trying to hurt McCains chances of winning the
White House. Democrats are evenly divided.
In terms of its ultimate impact, opinion is more mixed. Overall, 30%
believe the Times article helped McCain, 34% believe it hurt, and 29%
say it had no impact. A plurality of Republicans believe the article
helped their partys presumptive nominee while a plurality of
Democrats held the opposite view.
