Want confirmation that The New York Times is biased? Just ask it.
The Times unveiled a new graphing tool called Chronicle, designed as “a tool for graphing the usage of words and phrases in New York Times reporting.” Chronicle allows anyone to search the “162-year archive of Times reporting” for how often words were used.
The tool is simple to use and the results can be damning. The New York Times disproportionately reports on gays versus Catholics, according to its results. Catholics account for almost 25 percent of the U.S. population and gays and bisexuals account for 2.3 percent. Yet The New York Times placed “gay” in 1.84 percent of articles and “Catholic” in just 1.14 of articles in 2014. Graphs Below.
