The NY Times isn't remotely bias. Their news is about as straight as it gets. Remember, the NY Times was integral in getting the Iraq War started. They do have conservative columnists as well as liberal ones. The Daily News is definitely more "liberal" but these aren't polar opposites.

The fact is, there are far more television news channels that lean to the right (CNBC, Fox Business, Fox News, One America, Bloomberg, NewsMaxTV, The Blaze) than there are left leaning (MSNBC and??). CNN just kind of sucks as a news agency, but they are hardly biased. BBC News exists but also quite even. Headline News plays it straight.

The concept that there exists some form of ?liberal media bias? is based on fiction. It belies all facts that exist. You literally have five ?news? channels dedicated completely to push one political position 24 hours. Add in TrumpTV that?ll come out when his race ends?

Not to pile on, but the name was pretty bad also to be honest. You can name your restaurant literally anything you want, why choose something that evokes images of Port-o potties? I mean I understand that Porto is a city in Portugal, but why make it cheesy by adding a dash to make it Port-O?

Huh? It's PORTA potties, as in portable potties. I don't know of any friends that ever made the association to which you allude, but perhaps yours did. Never crossed my mind, though.

But, yeah, the place was good at times, and uneven at others. I wish I had visited them one more time before they closed. Oh, well.

These guys must really hate the name Porta Pizza! Porto was doing fine but couldn't handle the rent increase.

Another crash this morning, Jersey and 3rd.

Jersey City got lucky no pedestrians were injured in this accident, considering all the foot traffic generated by the grocery store, the laundromat and the Citibike rack all at that corner. It's time for the city to install a stop signs on Jersey Ave at 3rd to slow the drag race between Newark ave and the tunnel.

The State of NJ authorizes the installation of stop signs, not JC.

'Slow and steady' growth? Obama is the first POTUS to never have a 3% rise in the economy. Hillary would be more of the same. And Obama got those abysmal numbers by doubling he national debt accrued by every single preceding POTUS combined. Just imagine how the economy would be if he hadn't mortgaged our kids lives.

Thank you, Comrade Monroe! The Russian Federation approves of your comments!

I patronize both regularly, although Dullboy somewhat less often as of late. It is busy on that street until the PJs start up on 3rd.
Though, come to think of it, the bodega serving the PJs on 5th is busy as well.

Of course he has a shot at winning.....he won the Republican Circus Primary.

Even though Hillary has horrible favorable ratings like Trump. She has several advantages going into the General.

A united Democratic party. A broad coalition of support among many groups. A healthy ground game that is already working in the states. A fundraising advantage. A seasoned and professional staff. She could put the icing on the cake by being bold and going with a progressive....she really shouldn't go with a safe VP pick. She has much more political experience an should be able to better navigate the challenges ahead.

That's nice but if you look at the rank and file Republicans at the convention there are few if any people of color.

I wonder why a majority of African Americans will not vote for the GOP?

I wonder why a majority of Hispanic Americans will not vote for the GOP?

I wonder why a large percentage of Women will not be voting for the GOP?

I wonder why a large percentage of Asians will not be voting for the GOP?

I wonder why a majority of Muslim Americans will not be voting for the GOP?

So far over 300,000 Muslim Americans have newly registered to vote.......African American participation is not expected to drop this election....some analysts believe it might be even higher than elections that got Obama elected. Hispanic Americans are also pushing their communities to register an vote........

Trumps chances of winning....are small.

I guess Atsushi didn't see the debates-three old, career white politicians vs Latinos, black, female, whites of various backgrounds. Which party had more diverse candidates?

Of course, if crooked Hillary picks Elizabeth Warren she can claim the Cherokee diversity card! You know, high cheekbones and all.

Do you consider a 38% chance small? I don't. Trump is very much in play.

FBI Director James Comey: Hillary Clinton didn't lie or break law in email handling

For people with rational mind, this closes this matter.

The issue is not whether Clinton lied to the FBI; it is whether she lied to the American public via statements to the media.

Sorry, this matter is still very much open, regardless of how much the left would like to see it closed.

Okay, have fun then. Remember how well Benghazi investigations turned out.

In my view, this was also the state department's system's failure. Yes, she made a dumb mistake, wanting to use one email address for her private business and official business.
But wasn't there anyone (or a system) in the department that told her that what she wanted to do was not a good idea?

No projection. Just stating a fact based on what you've written.

I'm most definitely not a victim nor do I pretend to be one. Good luck in your travels. I know it is so very rough whenever you hear "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"...

Finally! Among the many traffic signs & signals being ignored in JC, drivers, including school buses, have been routinely ignoring the "right turn only" lane on Monmouth @ Columbus, today I saw a cop with 4 cars pulled over on the N side. I can only wonder how she got 4 at once.

Maybe this will become an annual event, just like the "BUS ONLY LEFT TURN" sign at Columbus and Marin is only enforced during the holiday season. The city could make a killing by making it a point to enforce that sign once per week.
