In a memo on perceived bias:

Key quotes:

I'm concerned about the perception---and the occasional reality---that the Times is a liberal, "politically correct" newspaper. Generally speaking, this is an inaccurate view, but occasionally we prove our critics right.

...The reason I'm sending this note to all section editors is that I want everyone to understand how serious I am about purging all political bias from our coverage. We may happen to live in a political atmosphere that is suffused with liberal values (and is unreflective of the nation as a whole), but we are not going to push a liberal agenda in the news pages of the Times.

The Arnold expose was specificially timed to Dirty Trick Thursday. According to this story, the Times may have informed Davis' campaign ahead of time so that Davis could prepare a coordinated attack. A similar controversial story about Davis' violent nature was spiked.

The L. A. Times is proven to be for all intents and purposes an appendage of the Left and the Democratic Party, or to put in another way, a crawling, instep-licking Democrat buttmonkey. Which is a hell of a thing for a major newspaper.
