The New York Times consistently portrays Republicans as marauding culture war aggressors, even when it’s the hard-left that fires the opening shots.

The New York Times reported on a political focus group and came back scared for democracy: “These 8 Conservative Men Are Making No Apologies.” What precisely would the “conservative men” have to apologize for?
