Two of the nation’s most respected newspapers have expressed through their editorial pages a diametrical position from that of the general public on the Afghanistan war, according to an analysis by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR). A majority of Americans in recent polls by Fox News, CNN, the Associated Press and others have said they oppose the war or declared it not worth fighting. But the opinion sections of The New York Times and The Washington Post have consistently run more editorials in favor of the war than against it.
