Dan Froomkin: New York Times Nailed for Publishing Republican Propaganda���Yet Again https://www.salon.com/2020/10/23/new-york-times-nailed-for-publishing-republican-propaganda--yet-again/: ���Two supposedly "average" voters in a Times story turn out to be hardcore Republicans. And it's happened before...
