The only newspaper out of the top forty in the US that I consider to be 'even-handed' is Wall Street Journal. To be honest, their focus is business, and rarely will they tangle up with a pure political story.
So it was a shock in 2017 when the New York Times came to lure Bari Weiss from the WSJ to the New Times. She was supposed to bring a even-handed approach.
Today, she resigned.
What she said in her resignation....the general attitude around the paper was that her opinion and guidance was worthless.
What happens now? Well...they have to go and hire someone to fill her shoes. I'm guessing that they will just skip the neutral 'chatter' and hire a Twitter or blogger individual, and just skip the pretend business.
What's all this say about the Times? If you want the far left 'slant'....the Times will provide it. Don't worry, they won't lose any additional subscriptions....they've already lost those over the past twenty years.
