    You believe the right wing op ed writers at the times could ever get fired for their opinions? Bari Weiss was making mid 6 figures posting trash on the NYT before she accused her employer of discrimination to jump start coverage of her new substack.

    Everyone is biased, it’s how the brain operates. Some biases try to reflect reality while others try to manipulate people to believe propaganda. The Times is perfectly fine employing propagandists.

      Op Ed writers literally write opinion pieces. That’s not journalism.

      But most intelligent people are able to put their biases aside and only report on the facts at hand. She clearly can’t.
