Indeed. It's always fun to see things like this come out, but who really believes any major press organization is unbiased? In fact, the woman in this video was quite an articulate advocate for subjective value theory / consumer sovereignty.
Those who are fans of the NYT will likely be cheering on this bias, and those who are foes will see this as confirmation of what they already thought. But then what?
O'Keefe's lamenting that journalism is not as objective as it once was may be looking at things the wrong way. Maybe society is not as uniform as it once was, and perhaps journalism has simply adapted to a more polarized society.
A tempest in a teapot. Journalism has never been unbiased.
