Has the NYT been bashing the "tea party"? Has the company? its board?

Care to offer some examples?

A quick search using the Times own search engine turned up nothing other than news articles.

The OpEd section seems pretty well divided - for and against.

A Mighty Pale Tea

By ...CHARLES M. BLOW ... too bad Blow didn't call out his own company for being pale.

What is known is that the nearly all-white G.O.P. is so traumatized by race it has now morphed into a bizarre paragon of both liberal and conservative racial political correctness. For irrefutable proof, look no further than the peculiar case of its chairman, Steele, whose reckless spending and incompetence would cost him his job at any other professional organization, let alone a political operation during an election year. Steele has job security only because he is the sole black man in a white party hierarchy. That hierarchy is as fearful of crossing him as it is of calling out the extreme Obama haters in its ranks.
hey ... at least the GOP has a black guy ... this guys board does not have any ... not even a token.

We've had this discussion elsewhere here recently. This is an OpEd piece - OpEd articles are the opinion of the author only - not of the newspaper and each newspaper so states plainly on it's OpEd page.

Here's a nice civil OpEd piece on The Tea Party:


Anger and Frustration in Tea Party Voices - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com

And another:

?The System Is Broken? - More From a Poll of Tea Party Backers - NYTimes.com

And still another, basically factual, OpEd article about The Tea Party:

Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated - NYTimes.com

Like I said, though, OpEd is simply the author's opinion - and not the opinion of the newspaper it's printed in.

The NY Times OpEd policy:

The Op-Ed page is a venue for people with a wide range of perspectives, experiences and talents. Some of the people who appear in this space have written a lot; others haven't. If we published only people who needed no editing, we'd wind up relying on only a very narrow range of professional writers, and the page would be much the worse for it.

So what's the agenda? A lively page of clashing opinions, one where as many people as possible have the opportunity to make the best arguments they can.

The toxic clouds that are the inevitable result of the fear and the bitter conflicts so relentlessly stoked by the Republican Party — think blacks against whites, gays versus straights, and a whole range of folks against immigrants — tend to obscure the tremendous damage that the party’s policies have inflicted on the country

So the newspaper with no blacks on the board finds it useful to use opeds written by blacks ... that reminds me of the blacks picking cotton for the white rich plantation owners. come on Mrs. PF ... you're too intelligent not to see there is no diversity at the top of these 3 companies ... yet they routinely find space in their media to bash the tea party for not being diverse. Regardless of political affiliation ... that is indefensible IMO.

Ohh ... it's oped ... that's not us ...
... bet high school kids who have not been brain washed can even see through that ploy.

there is no defense ... no defense at all for companies yelling racism who don't at least touch the minimum parameters of social diversity with respect to minorities, women and/or both.

None ... nada ... zilch ... if your house is not clean then clean it before you criticize others.

This thread is not meant to exonerate anyone. The tea party should be a bit more diverse and perhaps they will be. But I refuse to even consider the opinion of a major media outlet whose leadership is white ... very, very white.
