The National Review - This Week
"The New York Times has added the rock star Bono to its op-ed stable, meaning that the same newspaper that finds the governor of Alaska grossly unqualified to be vice president of the United States believes a pop singer is obviously qualified to be lecturing the world about African civil wars and development economics. Times op-ed-page editor Andrew Rosenthal said he’d like to hire more song-and-dance men, but conservatives need not apply: “The problem with conservative columnists,” Rosenthal said, “is that many of them lie in print.” You’d think a newspaper that spent years publishing the fictitious reports of Jayson Blair — and that won a Pulitzer for the lies Walter Duranty told on behalf of Stalin — would be a little more circumspect about that. But who are we to question Bono’s credentials? He wears snazzy glasses and can see Ireland from his house. "

And I guess Rosenthal's comments would infer liberals don't lie.
Huh.
