THE TIMES' TAKE ON TAXES: Over the weekend, Andrew Hofer had intelligent comment on the biased tax coverage in the NYT on his site More Than Zero. What's interesting about the Times's economic coverage is that Dean Baker also does a pretty successful job of knocking them and The Washington Post down from the Left every other week in his Economic Reporting Review. It's amazing and scary how sloppy and careless they can be, considering they are the papers of record in this country. Good thing we have the blogs.
