Here are the biggest problems at the NYT:
- Patrick Healy: Politics editor. Hes the real problem. He writes the headlines or approved them.
- Dean Baquet: Head editor. Healys boss. He ultimately makes the calls on headlines. Hes susceptible to pressure- he probably changed this one. He FIRED THE PUBLIC EDITOR, the person at the Times who is meant to reflect on their errors. Hes a huge problem- and the tweet above says many NYT employees are angry at him.
- James Bennet, opinion editor. Hired Bret Stephens and continues to employ him. Nuff said.
- Peter Baker: news analyst, not a reporter. The most bothsidesist and craven and savvy of any writer on the NYT News side.
Im cancelling my sub and will not re subscribe till at least two of the four above are fired.
The NYT is not what it has been. Cancel it. Read instead the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and the Washington Post.
