Yeah, that's been our big beef with the New York Times: it's too tough on top Democrats . . .

So we'll all sleep better now that Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet has assured us that the paper is not "too aggressive" or "unfair" in its coverage of Hillary Clinton. On CNN's Reliable Sources today, Bacquet, as proof of the paper's even-handedness, noted to host Brian Stelter a Times story on Benghazi that "did not point a finger at her" and another story probing problems within the Benghazi committee.

Does anyone for a second doubt that once the general election gets going, the Times will be all in for the Dem candidate, whoever it is, and that its pages will be primed with stories of dark doings by the Republican?

Consider also the slant of Stelter, a former Timesman himself. Rather than challenging the paper's left-wing bias, he frets that it's being unfair to Hillary.
