nytimes? Arent they as blue as blue gets?

No, actually not. Not even close.

Then can you please explain this?

From your link:

The New York Times News bias is Lean Left.

and

A “Lean Left” bias is a moderately liberal rating on the political spectrum.

So your link would not seem to support your suggestion that they are 'as blue as blue gets'.

very true but per the graph just one tier to the right. Thats close. So when i posted that link it wasnt so much claiming validity to my assertion as much as questioning your claim of not even being close. Moderate left is one tier from hard left, per their graph. I would say thats somewhat close. Definitely not as left as it gets, but its over there in the left.
I honestly expected links to say they are balanced or right wing, with how you said not even close, and was going to post a link and say i was way off.
I was still off. They aren't as left as it gets. But they are left.
Thats all i was looking for.
Thanks.

Girls... girls... you're both pretty... grumpy this early in the morning. Fuck, I haven't even had coffee yet.

Boys are the ones perpetually crying about what victims they are.

72% fully vaccinated, not 75%.

And the below graphic shows where the Netherlands rates as a country, adjusted per population. At the very low end of deaths, which is why their hospitals aren't overrun and they've been doing generally better than the rest of Europe, not to mention the US and the rest of the world...

I believe in those days and in this usage 'several' meant 'various', not 'multiple'.

Pew Research ran a study on vaccine rates. Can post link if anyone wants. Among other things sought correlation between religious views and vaccinations in US. Atheists are most vaccinated at 90%. Some on the right conflate atheism with left wing. There are actually very conservative atheists (the late Christopher Hitchens supported Iraq war, defended torture and vehemently opposed legal abortion) but even they are pro science. White evangelical Christians are least vaccinated. In that case there is strong right political correlation.

But the data doesn’t lead to that in regards to children. Not in any way.

Yes, it does. Not as great an advantage as for adults but still an advantage.
Now, I can back up my claim, can you back up yours?
From the Mayo clinic (perhaps you've heard of them):

click on the link "If children don't frequently experience severe illness with COVID-19, why do they need a COVID-19 vaccine?"

Simple, the President calls them up and then requires them to be vaccinated. If they jump ship then they go to Leavenworth.

When you sign up for military service you lose the right to refuse orders like this.

People should think about that before they sign up. The constitution no longer protects you in most cases as long as you're enlisted.

Not exactly. The National Guard is different from the Reserves until the President federalizes them. A great example was when George Wallace employed them in front of the doors of White public schools in Birmingham and Kennedy with the stroke of a pen turned the National Guard from blocking entrances to protecting entrances allowing Black children to enter. So, the National Guard is under the control of a state governor until called up.

Commander of Oklahoma National Guard posted pics of self getting Covid booster, and praising efficiency of site. Governor fired him giving no cause. Didn't tell him directly; commander found out from social media. New commander, as his first action, declared guard personnel not required to follow vaccination order from Commander in Chief.

Fox News is holding a national meeting with all their "stars" in Florida.
All participants are required to show proof of vaccine or negative Covid test. While they rail against vaccine mandates and Governor DeathSantis bans them.

Let the President federalize them and presto they'll have a brand new commander in chief.

I've had two and they weren't nothin'. Of course I was exempted from the nasal swab and got the throat swab.
