Honestly, reading this newspaper is like reading Democratic talking points. Of course Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is going to say she’ll be “modest” and the trite Americans have “great wisdom.” What else would any nominee say?

So of course the clueless Contra Costa Times makes this the headline because they have to cover for Kagan’s history as a liberal activist.

  The Contra Costa Times is the most influential media in the county. As such, it leans left. The media should be unbiased and we use this site to point out the error of their ways. Enjoy.
