When asked why the Times doesn’t see its job as trying to “stop Trump,”
This, to me, is a little misleading. The Washington Post didn’t publish about Watergate to “stop Nixon.” They were, in fact, trying to provide impartial information – which in this case led them to present to their readers in stark terms why Nixon was a dangerous crook. But it wasn’t based in any desire to get Nixon specifically as far as I know.
Kahn … said journalism’s role is to provide “impartial information” rather than becoming a “propaganda arm.”
An excellent point. So you’re planning to fire the propagandists working for you and starting to provide impartial information, right?
It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have," he told Smith. "At the moment, democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top [of polls], and the economy and inflation is the second. Should we stop covering those things because they’re favorable to Trump and minimize them?
Those issues are not in any way favorable to Trump, unless you spin it in his favor.
Yeah. Their editorial stance is fucking baffling to me.
Fun fact, I like journalism so I periodically subscribe to a random selection of online news outlets for the tiny little bit of cash that it costs to do it. I just cancelled the NY Times and explained in some detail that this bullshit is why.

I’m sure they will also get to work immediately rooting out the systemic bigotry in their editorial staff. they’ll… they’ll do that, right… ?
