      Really good points on this thread about how the Times is presenting the new reporting (in ways that diminish it).https://twitter.com/lrozen/status/1173053425191411713 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Laura Rozen @lrozen
      why does the Times piece with such bombshell reporting about Kavanaugh turn it into a story about the culture of Yale in the 1980s?

      Seriously. Read the headline. Read the deck. Then read the article. Go back & re-read the headline and deck and see if they describe what is most noteworthy about the article. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/sunday-review/brett-kavanaugh-deborah-ramirez-yale.html …

      "Bury the lede in hopes it gets picked up and amplified by partisan commentators while our ostensibly non-partisan hands remain clean" has been the NYT's modus motherfucking operandi for years.

          Pretty much any major NYT Trump malfeasance story has a bland hed/subhed with the real meat a few grafs down to be spotlighted later by @maddow etc. Relates to the NYT approach of not calling Trump a racist and letting partisans cite “shit hole countries” etc to make that case.

          Trivial example, but it's from the Saturday Times. Trump badgers his staff about why there hasn't been more coverage of Trump breaking Elton John's crowd record at arena in Manchester, NH (as claimed by Trump: no fact check included). Headline more neutral https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/us/politics/elton-john-inauguration-trump.html …

          Lefties have always been aware of the need to dig into the NYT. Old reading tips included paying special attention to page 3, the now defunct Sunday column devoted to old news stories, and the Saturday edition.
