Newspapers Should Be Required To Have A Disclaimer.
Newspapers should be required to have a subtext next to their name with their particular bias. For instance, the New York Time would have to have a subtitle - A Liberal Sided publication.

Most discerning readers can tell their is a bias but I like the idea of them being forced to admit it publicly.

Seems like a good idea. Like they could tag those looney tabloids that declare that the world is going to end yesterday with "DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!"

Their bias is so obvious it is in their wikipedia description (under history). For years they had a policy of not using the term Armenian Genocide. A UCLA political scientist, not exactly a right wing mecca, rated the NYT at the top of the list of left wing publications in an overall study of media bias.
They are what they are. I understand that they have this slant, and expect it. I don't expect to find objective reporting from that paper ever. It isn't even just what they cover and how they cover it, but what is omitted.

Pretty soon there will be no more newspapers. They are killing themselves.

Calling the New York Times "liberal" is an admission of your stupidity.

 It's essentially liberal-conservative these days, or Red Tory, to use Canadian terminology.
