NYT and IHT Appeal for European-Type Health Care While Finding Obama Again (!) … "Making History"


Lording over the front page of the International Herald Tribune (the New York Times' European edition) on March 27, 2009, is Jim Young's Reuters picture of Barack Obama during his Internet video news conference (the very first, Sheryl Gay Stolberg assures us) before a video screen inside the White House with the question,
Why can we not have a universal health care system like many European countries, where people are treated based on needs rather than financial resources?
Don't you dare tell anyone that the New York Times — which yet again (!!!) found Obama making… history (how many times in the past year?!) — isn't neutral and non-biased and non-partial and entirely objective! :oP

Oh, and how many stories about George W Bush or some other Republican would end with words such as these:
“Thank you so much for all your hard work,” Harriet [of Georgia] told the president. “God bless you.”
