Now, though, the general election season is on, and The Times needs to offer an aggressive look at the president’s record, policy promises and campaign operation to answer the question: Who is the real Barack Obama?

Many critics view The Times as constitutionally unable to address the election in an unbiased fashion. Like a lot of America, it basked a bit in the warm glow of Mr. Obama’s election in 2008. The company published a book about the country’s first African-American president, \”Obama: The Historic Journey.\” The Times also published a lengthy portrait of him in its Times Topics section on NYTimes.com, yet there’s nothing of the kind about George W. Bush or his father.

According to a study by the media scholars Stephen J. Farnsworth and S. Robert Lichter, The Times’s coverage of the president’s first year in office was significantly more favorable than its first-year coverage of three predecessors who also brought a new party to power in the White House: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan.

(CNA/EWTN News).- Fifty years after St. Martin de Porres was canonized, two Peruvian priests from the Convent of St. Dominic in Lima where the 16th century saint lived, praised his many contributions to the Church.

\”His example of intimacy with God and holiness that he left us shines clearly in his virtues, such as his great humility and charity with those most in need,\” Father Javier Abanto Silva, director of Radio Santa Rosa, told CNA April 20.

\”For us Dominicans, for us Peruvians and for all those who are devoted to this saint, he is an example for our spiritual and Christian life and for our family life as well,\” he said.

Father Juan Anguerri, director of the St. Martin de Porres Home for the Poor, called the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the saint’s canonization an opportunity to reflect on his example of Christian life, inspired by his intense love for the Virgin Mary and the Eucharist.
