York times is -- an unfair bias against the Coke Brothers.

Take a look at this quote from the times public editor quote.

I remain steadfastly opposed to the Paper profiting profiting only up -- only liberal perspectives and his coverage.

But in the opinion based feature of the Paper the times is within its right to do this in my view it makes for predictable some -- and sometimes very dull reading.

Coke industry spokesperson anti -- hours and be seen is that something of a moral victory for you guys -- Well I I think it it shows that mr.

Brisbane had both courage and candor and that's definitely spot back for his -- -- his Paper nightly.

But the bottom line is that they are -- fast and they are -- rather obsessive.

Certainly that the company because they've written some fifteen different articles.

Over about forty -- so we get our weekly Coke hit piece of most of which are not even factually based and I just -- ask your readers to your viewers to get a Coke fact dot com they can read alcoholics change.

Now you -- see where he says that their liberal views and difficult to the Coke Brothers political perspective now that's kind of stuff -- just -- the attack on a Coke Brothers about it that we take a larger narrative the sort of economic impact that this has you know what there's a Coke Brothers or others.

But specifically in this case natural gas always seems.

Sort of be the underlying.

Sub target if you well and that's taken pretty big battering because of it out well.

You know they think it's interesting to me that they do so much on their opinion page.

That's on the attack when they really down to address the things they should address on the business page and I think it's because.

They really can't do that legitimately if they wanted to talk business theoretically -- got a -- against that cares about finances.

What could they really say you know about the company -- about other job creators in an environment where the president has lost by conservative estimates.

About a million jobs and we got unemployment at eight point 5%.

And just in our circumstances you know when they attack -- are attacking.

Company that's -- 50000 jobs in almost every state most of the manufacturing jobs it wouldn't be a good story lines and they don't -- there.

It wouldn't be a good story when did this story I'm percent from them but that smells like politics in general prompting.

Good economic sense whether it's the -- the president who lives that is playing political -- but I can -- into the New York Times.

Financing do you think that they have some responsibility maybe this could be a step in the right direction towards something just a little bit more balance in little more honest.

Well it certainly would be nice if the public editor of their newspaper didn't find their coverage doll down today.

I I think it would only improve the product and I think you know there is -- That deserve.

You know about which thoughtful people can disagree and there are issues that bring.

Strange bed fellow coalitions together like opposition to cronyism and I -- -- if they went after that I think we would applaud them whole -- Amid new element that their papers are delivered by trucks that -- -- also fuels and things like that always a lot of -- that scout Matthew -- our congratulations we'll see -- -- Thank you sound like alright.
