When Red was on about the whiteness of Portland, he may have been referring to the klanness of Oregon generally and it’s effect on the composition and behavior of Portland cops who predominantly live outside the city they police. 

Given that he reinforced his erroneous opinion with the census department numbers, I would have to say, no, you are going far more deeply into this than he did or ever would have intended to.

NYT:

Overall, we rate the New York Times Left-Center biased based on word and story selection that moderately favors the left, but highly factual and considered one of the most reliable sources for news information due to proper sourcing and well-respected journalists/editors. The failed fact checks that occurred were on Op-Ed’s and not straight news reporting.

WSJ: These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/

Overall, we rate the Wall Street Journal Right-Center biased due to low biased news reporting in combination with a strongly right biased editorial stance. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High, due to anti-climate, anti-science stances and occasional misleading editorials.

So...you should read both papers, if you can afford to do so.

You found some post comparing a center-right paper to a klepto-right paper to claim the political center is somewhere between them.

It may have caused an awkward silence as people were busy being embarrassed for you.

Vermont is imposing a mask mandate as of August 1st.

It's only a mandate if you have to wear it 100% of the time.

 I've long believed the WSJ reports the news straight-down-the middle as does the NY Times. I read both.

Yes, because that will stop the virus, solve skyrocketing unemployment, educate children, and stop this: https://www.npr.org/2020/07/24/894996949/concern-over-evictions-rise-as-covid-19-unemployment-benefits-expire
