Times Editor Confirms Change in Approach

Outside of the bubble where normal people live, the NYT enjoys the same reputation for excellence it has always enjoyed. Only at places like this forum, where bubble dwellers come out to vent and to console one another, is the Times not respected.

I do respect the NYT. It does a good job of protecting some of my work surfaces from wood glue. It's also good for starting a fire in the wood stove now and then.

Times Editor Confirms Change in Approach

On Tuesday, we noted an apparent shift in gears in the New York Times' coverage of Donald Trump, from a more dispassionate approach to a more critical approach. On Wednesday, executive editor Dean Baquet confirmed that this is the case, telling Quartz that:

I think our investigative work—see the [Sept. 17] story on Trump's tax breaks—has always been hard hitting. But we have decided to be more direct in calling things out when a candidate actually lies. The birther issue represents, well, outright lying. And he lied over a long period. It is a real word and we will use it when warranted.

For the people who would not care if Donald Trump shot someone on Fifth Avenue, this will not matter. For the independents and the fence-sitters, on the other hand, more critical media coverage could certainly help them make up their minds as the contest reaches its conclusion. (Z)

Ah ... so THAT explains the Trump surge.
Bravo, NYT.

Gotta laugh, though.
Nobody noticed.
Anyone who already reads the NYT saw no change.
Everyone else figured there'd never BE a change.
They're both right.

Personally, I think it was invented to be used as toilet paper but nobody craps that much. But, surprise surprise, a newspaper that endorses Clinton is going to be tougher on Trump.

I'm completely shocked. If they hadn't announced that they were going to get tough on him, I wouldn't have noticed. But now, now... I won't notice either.
