3. People think of the Times a liberal paper. That's a mistake, although of course it employs some liberals & supports Democrats. The Times is really an establishment newspaper above all else.

14. If I were editing the Times (ho ho ho) I'd get someone whose job it is to follow white nationalist right & report regularly on what they are thinking. Stop pretending that reasonable Never Trump conservatives are the real GOP.

15. Also, I'd open up Times op ed to the more paleo-cons and also people on the Democratic Party left (feminists, BLM, DSA etc).

18. Honestly, James Bennet & Bari Weiss should just call me. I can really advise them on how better to cover fractured opinions in Trump era America.

19. The Times both hired & fired Quinn Norton too quickly. If they had researched her background more, they could've offered her a more appropriate position & wouldn't have been blindsided backlash.

20. Hiring Norton to write about tech under her own byline makes sense (she's good at it & you can separate her dubious opinions from her writing for paper). Having her write anonymous editorials was wrong choice.

I'd go easier on the Times if their default response to criticism from the left wasn't withering condescension. As if the mighty NYT could ever make mistakes...pic.twitter.com/M8IoHX8ACn

This was my response. Hiring Bret Stephens was a shameful mistake, but lots of papers make mistakes like that. The think that turned my opinion on the Times into virulent loathing was the self-righteous way they tried to spin it afterwards.

Most
@nytimes readership is online, so readers don’t see the totality of the op-ed pages. Seen as an individual page or link, a hard-right column affronts the values of the Times and its readers. -
I also love the idea that Michelle Goldberg is a brave hire for the Times
