      1. So, let's think about the New York Times a little bit, and the increasing criticism its getting from liberals & leftists.

      2. I like ribbing the Times as much as anybody but I'm also inclined to cut them some slack because covering the Trump era is hard to cover for a paper like the Times.

      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.

      4. It's not just the Times is very attentive to opinions of USA elite but also, more deeply, it assumes that the elite of center right & center left is fundamentally rational.

      5. It takes a lot for Times to break with elite consensus -- something one the order of the Pentagon Papers showing government for years lied about Vietnam.

      6. But even under Nixon, Times instinct is to try to act as mediator between competing elite factions. When Agnew complained about press bias, Times responded by hiring Safire.

      7. Trump has disoriented the Times because he's a figure occupying an elite position (he's the President) but always deriding elite pretences of consensus and cordiality ("the failing NY Times")

      Jeet, Hillary was the Original Sin of this period. You’re 7 tweets in and still haven’t mentioned her. That is a fatal flaw in your analysis. I interviewed Conason about this in mid 2015, b4 Trump was even a thing. Your analysis is missing most of the story.

      I think that's a separate story from the Trump problems. (One I've touched on in other occasions).

          Which proves how you are completely wrong on the NYT imo.

          I think it cuts both ways. The Times attempted to, as Jeet was saying, position itself as an arbiter of two equal elite camps, namely the campaigns. Their inability to shift from this position in light of the vast disparity between the two, however, represents a colossal failing

          That’s not even a small part of it- where was the Jen Bush obsession and negative reporting in 2015? Where was Bush Cash? Bush’s Florida Gov e-mails? You guys really don’t see it at all. It’s truly amazing
