Has the New York Times turned over a new leaf?

The New York Times usually bends over backward to coddle and protect liberal politicians. Uncharacteristically, the Times recently bashed Al Gore’s global warming movie (link here).

Now the Times seems overly critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton prompting a scathing retaliation from Bill.

The long love affair between Bill and Hillary Clinton (pictured) and The New York Times seems to be over.

At a fund-raiser at the Trump World Tower apartment of mortgage mogul Keith Kantrowitz, the former president spoke for two hours to a select group that had contributed the maximum $2,300 to Hillary's presidential campaign, and much of his talk was devoted to attacking the Times.

He said his wife wasn't getting a fair shake from the Times.

Clinton said the Times is attacking Hillary because she won't apologize for her vote on the war in Iraq.

The Times had always been super supportive in the past.

The shoe is on the other foot now. Usually it’s conservative politicians who feel the wrath of the New York Times.
